Recipe: Apple Streusel Breakfast Muffins



These muffins are so moist that all 4 of my kids loved them -- which is really rare!  I tweaked one of my recipes (Betty Crocker Cookbook) just a little to use what I had on hand, and the results were really good.

Muffin Ingredients:

1 cup milk
1/4 cup coconut oil (you may use vegetable oil)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 cups all purpose or whole wheat flour (or a combination of both)
1/3 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped apple (fresh is best, frozen is good also)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare streusel topping (below).  Grease 12 medium muffin cups.  Beat milk, oil, vanilla and egg.  Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Fold in 1 tsp of cinnamon and chopped apples.  Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.  Sprinkle each with 2 tsp streusel topping.  Bake 20-24 minutes.  Immediately remove from pan (or they will stick.)

Yield 1 dozen muffins; 185 Calories each.

Streusel Topping:

1/4 cup flour
2 Tbsp packed brown sugar
2 tsp firm butter (or margarine)
1/3 tsp ground cinnamon

Mix until crumbly.
