Whole Grain Applesauce Muffins


Whole Grain Applesauce Muffins

2 cups of multigrain flour (whole wheat works fine too)
2 eggs
1 cup of milk (soy or rice milk works fine too)
1 cup applesauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins, walnuts, or a combination of the two (optional)
Combine dry ingredients with the exception of the optional nuts/raisins in a large bowl.

Spoon into greased muffin cups and bake 15-17 minutes.
