Gingerbread Muffins


I've been really in the mood for muffins lately! I also love making the little mini muffins, cause for some reason, I feel like I can eat a few more without feeling guilty...lol! I've taken this recipe from the book "Set For Life" and adapted it to make it a little more healthy than it already is :) I love this book and most all of the recipes in it are very healthy and very yummy!


Gingerbread Muffins

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour or spelt

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon 100% apple juice concentrate

1 egg

1/4 cup applesauce

1/4 cup molasses

1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt or buttermilk (to make your own buttermilk, 1 Tablespoon vinegar to 1 cup milk. Let stand for 5 minutes or so)

Mix dry ingredients. Blend wet ingredients. Combine and whisk only until dry ingredients are moist. Fill nonstick muffin pans 2/3 full. Bake at 400. Large muffins 14 minutes. Small muffins (bite size) 12 minutes. Enjoy!
