"pun-kin" muffins.
the recipe was given to me by cherie smith who is a co-chair of the "tasty treats" committee at sarah kate's school. these muffins are our "fall tasty treat" for the kids at school. i made 3 dozen last night by filling the muffin cups about 3/4 full. we needed more for tomorrow and i was able to make 4 dozen using this same recipe but filling the cups 1/2 full of batter. i volunteered to be a muffin-maker because i'm on the "tasty treats" committee, but the real reason is because i finally have an oven that i thought could handle the task....and it did....like a complete champ. "he" baked perfect muffins, he did not beep at me or display a weird message across his screen, he did not shut off on me....he did what "they" are meant to do. if he was showing off and trying to win me over then it worked. not only was i impressed but he may be my new best friend.
ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat organic flour
1 cup white flour
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
2 cups organic sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup vegetable oil
4 organic brown eggs
2/3 cups water
1/2 cup organic unsweetened applesauce
1 can organic pumpkin
directions:
preheat oven to 350. combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. combine wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. mix wet into dry. (i just used my hand mixer to mix). add in pumpkin and applesauce. mix. pour into paper-lined muffin tins. bake for 15-20 minutes. i baked mine for 19 minutes using my oven's convection setting.
someone wanted "more muffin!" and i have to say, they are quite tasty.
you don't have to use organic ingredients obviously. it's just what i usually use when i'm cooking for the kiddo and having a 'whole foods' down the street makes it easy. and speaking of the kiddo and pumpkins and such, sarah kate was very worried about her pumpkin today when she discovered it had a little hole on its' surface. she asked for a band-aid so she could fix him up. she told him not to worry that he was all better. her obsession with her pumpkin (& pumpkins in general) is very interesting. our pumpkins are very well-loved. and yes, we have brought her little pumpkin inside. she likes to keep an eye on it.
a "sweeping booty" band-aid fixes everything.
