Apple Cinnamon Muffins for Breakfast

Sharing is caring!

My kids love muffins for breakfast. I like that I can squeeze in a fruit or even vegetable in muffins.

Usually muffins feel like cupcakes, but these muffins are only a little sweet.

For a balanced meal, pair the muffins with greek yogurt and berries or breakfast meats.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 egg

1/2 cup of milk

1/4 cup of applesauce

1 cup of diced apples

butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400° and grease muffin pan.

NOTE: You will not bake the muffins this hot for the whole time. But starting at 400° for the first 10 minutes will cause the muffins to puff up.

Then you’ll turn down the temperature for the last 8 minutes.

Mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon.

Add wet ingredients: egg, milk, applesauce. Stir all together.

Stir in diced apples.

Fill 12 muffin cups about 2/3 full of muffin batter.

Bake for 10 minutes at 400°. The muffins are not done!

Turn down the temperature to 350° and bake for 8 minutes.

When the muffins are done, use the end of a stick of butter to cover tops of muffins with melted butter.
