Makes: 14 Muffins.

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cup flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup peanuts

  • 1/4 cup raisins

  • 1/4 cup oatmeal

    Topping:

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp flour



Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

  • Prepare a cupcake pan by lining the cups with paper liners. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A MORE TRADITIONAL MUFFIN BUTTER THE BOTTOM AND SIDES OF THE TINS THEN DUST WITH FLOUR, THEN INVERT THE PAN TO SHAKE OUT THE EXCESS.

  • In a large bowl combine your flour, baking powder, CHOCOLATE CHIPS, peanuts, raisins, oatmeal, and salt. Mix with a whisk until well combined.

  • In a large bowl add the APPLE SAUCE, sugar, oil, AND MILK. Mix this with a whisk until well combined.

  • Now pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients and mix until everything just comes together, essentially when all the flour is hydrated. Try not to over mix there will be lumps which is okay, you want to avoid building Gluten.

  • Pour your batter into your CUPCAKE TINS. yOU WANT TO FILL THEM 3/4 OF THE WAY FULL.

  • Now combine all ingredients for your topping in a bowl and mix well. Using a spoon or your fingers sprinkle the topping as evenly as you can accross the top OF EACH MUFFIN.

  • place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MINUTES.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before trying to remove from the pan.
