These are so tasty and very easy to make - yummy!! Ingredients:
3 cups white flour |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1 teaspoon allspice |
1 cup 2% low-fat milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3 large eggs |
1/3 cup molasses |
1/4 cup vegetables |
3 large red apples, peeled and diced |
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
2/3 cup flour |
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed |
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add beaten liquid ingredients to the sifted, combined dry ones, in a few strokes, just until moistened. Fold apples and 3/4 cup chopped walnuts into batter before dry ingredients are completely moist. The mixing is held to an absolute minimum, a light stirring for 15-20 seconds, batter will be lumpy. The battter should not be mixed to the point of pouring, ribbon,like from the spoon, but should break into course globs. If the batter has been beaten too long, the gluten in the flour will develop and toughen the dough.
2. To bake, preheat oven to 400°F Grease bottoms only of medium size muffin cups, fill 2/3 full.
3. TOPPING:.
4. In a small bowl, combine all topping ingredients. Mix well. Sprinkle topping over batter in muffin cups.
5. Bake in preheated 400F oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. If muffins remain in tins a few moments after leaving the oven they will be easier to remove.
