Apple Muffins

  We are still working on making our apples disappear as well as meet my pumpkin challenge so after an internet search and some voting amongst the children we decided on muffins.  This also was made after the pumpkin brownies so does that mean we were extra motivated in our kitchen?

  Apple Streusel muffins!  I even had a helper in the process!  She helped with the topping.

 I used Jonagold apples and it didn't even take the whole apple and still seemed to have enough apple bits in it.

   This was a good recipe for the teen to learn about wet and dry ingredients, how to make a separate topping and why I always have so many dishes.

 The mix looked so good after we added the apples.

 I used my silicone cupcake holders.  I love these things.  Even though I still wash the muffin tin it doesn't get half as dirty.

The finished product was good.  Little bits of apple just about in every bite.  My picky 2 yo whom won't eat an apple at all ate a couple of these.  Does that count as his quota for fruit?

  I like muffins.   A nice reasonable snack that you can play around with and make it your own.  Very portable and most kids will munch on them too.

Thank you stephssilverboxes for the apple struesel muffins. 4 kids out of 4 liked them!

Baking day and pumpkins

  Today I had a mission for my pumpkin consumption.   Come on now people we all have different goals don't judge.  I knew I was going to make something it was just a matter of what.  I have a couple recipes I want to try.  Some cookies for sure! I have two in mind already.  I also would like to make a pumpkin flavor granola as well as oatmeal.  After those few recipes I have no goal.  I would like to whip up at least a couple savory dishes as well.

  Today I made pumpkin brownies.  I was able to use the rest of the can opened from the smoothie so that was nice. I won't be able to utilize one can for two recipes often.

  I didn't hear any complaints from the household about this brownie.  It was a nice spin on a chocolate brownie.  It had the same texture as I like in my favorite brownie.  Chewy but soft and moist.  Not cake like at all and the chocolate chips when eaten warm were nice pockets of extra goodness.

  This would have been just as good topped with a scoop of ice cream because hey if your going to treat yourself why not add on a little more.

Recipe credit goes to sixsistersstuff.  I have several recipes I use from them! This will not be the last recipe you see from these guys.


  If you have any pumpkin recipes to share I'm open to any!
