Peanut Butter Muffins
2 cups flour ½ cup oats 4 tsp baking powder ½ cup honey ¼ cup apple sauce 1 ¼ cup milk ¾ cup peanut butter
Preheat oven to 400° F. Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the wet ingredients, excluding the peanut butter, and stir until just mixed. Let the batter sit for a minute or so, so the baking powder can start working it, then stir in the peanut butter. Spoon into greased muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12.
The peanut flavor is not overpowering, nor is it grossly sweet. The texture is light and fluffy, and perfectly moist. They kept the moisture for a number of days after baking them (store in an airtight container).
Variations:
Add 2 Tbsp cocoa powder. Use any kind of nut butter you want. Use flavored apple sauce. Use a fruit butter instead of applesauce.
