Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins

cinnamon applesauce muffin

 

With Mornings still chilly here in Denver I decided to do a little baking with the kids ! I wanted to use up some of this giant jar of applesauce I had and wanted a more “healthy” option. These are not light and fluffy muffins , they are more of a dense muffin that are super wholesome and filling. I think they are perfect for breakfast ! Using ingredients like whole wheat flour and chia seeds make these a delicious and easy breakfast or snack option that you don’t have to feel too  guilty about !

Just like many recipes , this is one that you can really add and take away ingredients pretty easily . Adding some veggies or fruits to these would be delicious and I’m thinking next time adding some zucchini ?!

Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 C whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 C sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon you can add a little more if you love cinnamon
  • 1/2 C applesauce + 1-2 Tbs more
  • 1/2 C milk
  • 2 Tbs oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbs chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray muffin pan with cooking spray.

    In a large bowl combine flour , sugar, baking soda and cinnamon.

    Add applesauce , a slightly beatened egg , milk and oil and mix just until all dry ingredients are moist. Sprinkle in the chia seeds

    Spoon the batter into the muffin pans about 3/4 of the way full (it will be quite thick)

    Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes

    Remove them from the pan after just a few minutes

    Dust powdered sugar on top and enjoy !

 

So there is sugar and oil and an egg … it’s not THE healthiest muffin recipe I make but I just really love how filling they are ! Plus they are very kid-friendly . It is an easy recipe that they can help you bake and then they LOVE dusting that powdered sugar on top ! No powdered sugar ? My son drizzled some local honey on top of his and it was DELICIOUS! They also aren’t the “prettiest” right ? But oh well !  I still wanted to share this recipe because we ate all 12 of them in one sitting and then the kids were asking if we could make more!

This cinnamon applesauce muffin recipe is far from perfect but I will be continuing to work at it and adding more nutrient rich ingredients and getting it just right !
Thanks for stopping by !

    OMG those look sooooo yummy – AND healthy! Have you tried replacing the egg w/plain yogurt, and/or the little bit of oil with flax seed? Those are the only two hacks I can think of to get rid of those ingredients/make it even healthier – but since we have no allergies to egg around here and the oil amount is so tiny, I’m not going to let that bother me!

Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had su Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had such an amazing time ! The highlights were the stingrays showing off and squirting water at us, and the birds eating out of Liam's hand. For Theodore, it was all just fascinating. Every animal got an "ooo" and "awww" and wide eyes and a pudgy little finger pointing at it or a little hand excitedly waving high. 
Then we spent some time at the little toddler play area in the mall where Theo hugged every kid there and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. 
I would say this week's homeschool field trip was a success!
Next week we're checking out our local library, and the week after that, the children's museum.
It's always so fun to explore a new area. ☺️

I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, but when I do, I make the most of it !
I put on a homemaker or homesteading podcast, light a candle, sip hot tea... 
It gives me time to slow down and take deep breaths, and relax a bit. (And I'll be honest, this time often also has a good snack involved or some dark chocolate I hid on the top shelf of the pantry 😆) 

I spent some time yesterday during nap time restocking some herbs in my new apothecary cabinet. I filled jars of nettle, peppermint, red raspberry leaf, and rosemary. These dark amber jars are on Amazon and pretty perfect for storing herbs ! 
I'm dreaming of what herbs I'll be drying from my garden to add to these shelves 🤩

I'm curious- if you use herbs in your home, what are your top 3 most used ?
S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanke S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanket, and admiring our new house on the hill. 

We've been busy setting up our new home, finding places for everything, and thrifting some furniture. Theo is already use to the new house and his new room. He loves the playroom in the basement and having a real bath tub! 
Liam had his first playdate on Friday, and we're planning out his lego table this week. Nate has been busy fixing things around the house and helping me hang art and things all over. 
 It feels good to be finding a new rythm again. To have a regular bath night, and cooking big meals we eat around the table my grandpa built. We're dreaming of the garden this Spring, what fencing we can put up for animals, what color to paint the house... 
and it just feels so so good to be in our own home again where we can do what we want and plan and dream for the future.
We got this gorgeous 1964 Thomasville china hutch We got this gorgeous 1964 Thomasville china hutch for $100 off FB marketplace! 🤩 It took 2 trips an hour away to bring this big gal home. 
This is by far my most favorite piece of furniture I've ever owned. My original plan for this piece was to hold and display all my china, tea cups, and table linens. 
But I also needed storage for all my herbs, herbal books, tinctures, salves, etc. I added a few jars of herbs and knew this needed to be a moody apothecary cabinet stat! 
I threw a bunch of other decor and little things I love in there. I'm sure I'll rearrange it a dozen times before I love it. My goal is for two whole shelves to be filled with dried herbs from our garden by Fall. 🤍
I've got candles in a drawer, tablecloths in another, and the top drawer is random things, supplies and tinctures. The right cupboard is holding all my vases & jars,  and the left cupboard is holding all my herbal and homesteading magazines.
 
What is the best FB marketplace find you've scored ?? 
I think this is my favorite!
I stopped by a children's resale store today after I stopped by a children's resale store today after Theo & I finally got in to see a chiropractor. 
Best $18 I've spent, my goodness. He's been going down over and over, giggling and being silly and saying "ooo". When we go to a park, it's hard to get this kid away from the slide, so I would say sliding is one of his hobbies 😆 
I just never want to forget this age. I can barely remember Liam when he was around this age - 17 months old is crazy and exhausting, but so so fun! 
He wants to do what we are doing- putting on his shoes, brushing his teeth, combing his hair... he already wants to be a "big boy" and do things himself, but he still loves his mama sooo much and wants to snuggle all day long. 🤍
