Makes 10-12 muffins

2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2-1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup fortified soy milk or other non-dairy milk

1 T vegetable oil

1 T light molasses

1 T apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup raisins

cooking spray

Methods/steps

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly mist 10 muffin cups with vegetable oil spray.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly.

Combine the applesauce, soy milk, oil, molasses, and vinegar in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the raisins.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, Applesauce Muffins will keep for up to 3 days. If longer storage is needed, freeze the cooled muffins in heavy-duty zipper-lock bags for up to 1 month. Defrost at room temperature or in a microwave.

Variation: Add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter and/or replace the raisins with 1/2 cup of dried cranberries.
