Anything Goes Muffins

This is a recipe I got from a friend, Jenny Chamberlain. It's a lovely recipe because it's so versatile. I have adjusted her original recipe, found here, for my humongous family and for the sweeteners that I use. Today I used vanilla yogurt and applesauce as the 2 c of anything. I also threw together a quick streusel topping (sorry, no recipe on that) to make them even more yummy. They were delicious.

Anything Goes Muffins

Preheat oven to 375.
4 c. flour (I like 2 c. white, 1 c. w/w, and 1 c. oats)
2 Tbsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. powdered stevia
1/2 c. sucanat
1/4 c. molasses
2 c. Anything (moist - such as bananas, shredded carrots, pumpkin...)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1-1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. oil

Sift dry ingredients. Mix all wet ingredients. Stir wet into dry just enough to moisten. Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes. Makes 24 large muffins.

The real versatility of muffins lies in the plethora of moist ingredients you could use (the "Anything" of the recipe.) A favorite is 1 c. shredded zucchini and 1 c. cranberry sauce. Another fun idea would be peanut butter and banana. Or strawberry/banana, or applesauce/yogurt, or perhaps peaches/sour cream. How about squash muffins with some butterscotch morsels stirred in. Ooooh, and pumpkin/cranberry would be really good. Enjoy!!
