Best ever muffins

Everyone loves muffins! But sometimes they just don't work out right!
These muffins are never fail! They are always light, fluffy & totally delicious!
It's a great basic recipe also & you can just replace the apple with any other fruit or whatever flavour you love your muffins! :-)
Happy Baking


Apple Cinnamon Muffins
1 1/2 cups wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup raw sugar
egg replacer, equivalent to one egg
3/4 cup vanilla soy milk (plain works great also - just add 1/2 tsp vanilla essense)
400g tin of pin apples, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Preheat oven to 180 C. Lightly spray a muffin tin with oil, or use casings. (either 12 tray or a large 6 tray)
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking soda and cinnamon. Then add the applesauce, sugar, egg replacer, and milk. Stir together until just mixed - do not overmix.
Divide batter into the muffin tray. Sprinkle the tops with vanilla sugar. Bake for approx 20 mins until a toothpick comes out clean.

Apple Pineapple Pudding Cake

Want a quick and easy cake recipe that still tastes yummy?!?

Best thing about this cake is that its FAT FREE & SUGAR FREE! 
(Does that mean I can eat the whole thing?)


All you need is:
          1 x 440g can pineapple pieces
          2 cups plain flour
          2 teaspoons baking powder
          1/2 cup apple sauce
          2 Tablespoons agave nectar
          1 teaspoon vanilla

Mash the pineapple pieces with the juice from the can.
Mix the baking powder into the flour. 

Combine all ingredients together and mix well. 
Spread mixture into a cake tin lightly sprayed with oil.

Bake at 180C for 35 minutes.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and slice to serve.

This also works really well served as a pudding because it is not fluffy/airy like a cake but quite dense.
Great topped with whipped coconut cream.

This recipe also works well with pie apples in place of the pineapple.
For individual cakes the mixture also works well in ramekins but reduce cooking time.
Tip: This cake doesn't keep well as it has no preservatives in it. Best consumed close to time of cooking or within a day.
