Apple Granola Muffins

It's been a couple of days since I made tasty treats for my little one.  It's always nice to have a break from Cheerios & Kix, agree?  


I have A LOT of apples that are hanging around, so I decided to put them to good use.  I think I'll need to make about 7 batches of these muffins in order to use them all up!  I don't think that will be a problem though since I made 12 muffins last night, and this morning there were only 4 left.


Here's the recipe:
Apple Granola Muffins

• 1 cup rolled (or steel cut) oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 melted butter
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 apple peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 cup granola (for topping)

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 F
• Beat honey, brown sugar, eggs and melted butter in a bowl
• Sift oats, flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon together in separate bowl
• Add dry mixture to wet mixture slowly, while stirring
• Add applesauce, vanilla, milk and stir well
• Fold in chopped apple
• Grease 12-muffin pan VERY well (or use foil lined cupcake liners)
• Fill each space to just over 3/4 of the way full.  Then cover each muffin well with granola.
• Bake for 20 minutes 
• ENJOY!!!
