Here is another recipe from the "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook written by Jessica Seinfeld. I made these muffins and Kirk, the boys, and I loved them. They were really yummy. It is a great way to get vegetables into my kids (and their parents).
Topping:
2/3 c. old-fashioned oats
1/4 c. firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 T. transfat- free soft tub margarine spread, melted
Batter:
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. old-fashioned oats
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c. nonfat (skim) milk
1/2 c. butternut squash or carrot puree (I used carrot)
1/2 c. firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 c. vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 400 degree. Coat a 12-c. muffin tin with cooking spray or mine with paper baking cups. To make the topping, stir together the oats, suagr, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the margarine. To make the batter, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl or zipperlock bag and stir or shake to mix. In a second bowl, mix the applesauce with the milk, vegetable puree, sugar, oil and egg with a wooden spoon. Add the flour mixture slowly, stirring until just moistened. Do not overmix - the batter is suppose to be lumpy. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle with the streusel topping. Bake until the topping is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffins, 18-20 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a rack and serve warm or cold.
As I said, all but my daughter liked them. I just saw this cookbook at Walmart for $10. Happy Cooking!
