Strawberry Apple Muffins

I found this recipe and thought it would be a perfect summer muffin. I changed this a bit as usual but I also didn't have honey so I was worried. They turned out delicious, a nice mild flavour, perfect with butter. I like a muffin that is made better by butter!

Ingredients

1/4 c butter

1/4 c applesauce

3/4 c brown sugar

2 1/2 c flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 c wheat germ

2 eggs

1 c milk

2 large apples peeled and chopped

1 c sliced strawberries

Directions

1. Mix together butter, applesauce, sugar and eggs. Then add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, wheat germ. Then slowly add milk and fold in the apples and strawberries.

2. Put into greased muffin tins and bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes.

Banana Blueberry Muffins

I found this recipe on Martha Stewarts's site. I am not a fan or a hater of Martha but if these muffins hadn't sound good, I would have passed them by. They turned out amazingly! Full of flavour and healthy too and I am proud to say that I was able to make them even healthier than Martha! I am a big fan of healthy muffins that use lots of fruit or veggies. Next time I would probably add some flax too. So if anyone tries these muffins add some flax and let me know how it goes.

Ingredients

1 cup whole-wheat flour

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup wheat germ

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup of applesauce

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 ripe bananas (about 1 pound)

1/3 cup skim milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup frozen blueberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add eggs, sugar, applesauce, bananas, vanilla and milk then add the rest of the ingredients. Fold in the blueberries and then spoon in to greased muffin tins about 2/3 full. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
