Cinnamon Applesauce Valentine’s Day Muffins

Ingredients

Muffins:*
2 cups Jiffy baking mix
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup milk + 2 tablespoons
1 egg, beaten

*For Valentine’s Day, I’m adding some red food coloring to the batter to turn the muffins pink.

Topping:
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon*

*For Valentine’s Day, I’m using pink sugar & leaving out the cinnamon for a seasonal topping twist.

Directions

Let’s get started!

Preheat your oven to 350 and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Mix all of the muffin ingredients, either by hand or with a mixer. Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven. Let the muffins cool & remove them from the muffin pan.

Melt two tablespoons of butter in a small dish. In a separate dish, combine the sugar & optional cinnamon. Brush each muffin top with butter, dip in the cinnamon sugar mixture, and enjoy!

Valentine’s Day breakfast really doesn’t get much easier than this! 🙂
