Applesauce Bread or Muffins

Adapted from a recipe for Applesauce bread from Grandma Ev's collection (clipped from a newspaper). 


Original Recipe: Mom's Applesauce Bread

2 C flour
3/4 C sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon


Mix together:
1 egg
1 1/2 C applesauce
2 Tbs oil


Add wet ingredients to dry and mix. Add chopped nuts if desired. Bake in loaf pan at 350 for 1 hour. 




Linda's Applesauce Muffins


Ingredients: 
1 C wheat flour
1 C oat flour (grind quick oats in blender)

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbs powdered egg 

1 1/2 C applesauce

1/2 C + 1 Tbs honey (more or less to taste)

chopped nuts

Combine dry ingredients. Add applesauce and honey. Mix. Add chopped nuts if desired. If you are not used to the whole wheat taste, you may want to add 1 Tbs orange juice instead of an extra Tbs honey. Also, I used powdered egg because I had a can I needed to use. If you use a regular egg, add it with the wet ingredients and decrease liquid by 1 Tbs (experiment with decreasing applesauce or honey). Makes enough for about 18 muffins. Bake at 325 for about 20 minutes. If you try to fit all the batter in 12 muffin cups, you will need to increase baking time and cover with tinfoil about half way through so the tops don't burn before the inside is baked.
