Applesauce Muffins

Imagine yourself waking up on a Saturday morning to the smell of freshly baked muffins. You suddenly bolt up and dash to the kitchen to get your hands on these muffins. 

What makes these muffins even better is that they're made with whole wheat flour. There's more fiber and nutrients in these muffins. And, you know what? They taste great too! My group baked these muffins in our culinary class the other day and I just have to share it with you guys. Here it is. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/3 cup  + 2 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup oil 
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg
• dark chocolate chips or craisins (optional) 

And for the topping:

• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients and set aside.
2. Into a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients.
3.  In a small bowl, combine the liquid ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients
4. Spoon batter into muffin cups (about 2/3 full). Sprinkle top of each muffin with topping mix.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean.
6. Remove pan from oven; carefully remove muffins from muffin cups immediately; cool muffins on a rack.

I hope you guys enjoy these muffins!
