Kitchen Adventures: Toddler Approved Apple Muffins

Mealtimes at my house have become a battle of wills and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm generally on the losing side of them. I guess that is when you know you are the parent of a toddler. It seems like every play date I go to these days always ends in the "what is your baby eating these days" conversation. Which is great because then I don't feel so alone. Recently, a friend sent me this recipe for apple muffins and the little man LOVES them. I'm not sure where this recipe originally came from so if you are the source, please let me know and I will make a note of it in this post. 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup vanilla yogurt (one 6 oz container)
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup chunky applesauce (I have used both sweetened and unsweetened applesauce)


Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.
In a small bowl, mix yogurt, baking soda, and baking powder. 
Set aside. 
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients (except baking soda and baking powder, which you've already put in with the yogurt).

The yogurt mixture should be slightly puffy by this point. 

Add the applesauce and eggs to it and stir.

Mix wet ingredients into dry.
Pour into greased muffin cups (or use liners). 
Fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. (I like to only do half b/c then the muffin doesn't come out of the top of the cup and overflow the edge.)
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops are golden brown, with cracks in them.
Let cool and serve! 

The last batch I made actually resulted in 16 muffins so its up to you and how much you fill up the cups. I have also frozen these and defrosted them as needed. I hope you and your family enjoy these muffins as much as we do.
