Love Muffins: Apple Streusel Muffin

Kenn love love loved these muffins! And the best part is she had no idea she was getting carrots, apples, oats, and added fiber...so moist and light. Thanks Mrs. Seinfeld for this recipe. I will definitely be picking up this cookbook!

Streusel topping:

• 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter or Nuttelex, melted

Cake batter:

• 1 1/2 cups plain all purpose flour
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 4 heaped teaspoons Fibresure

• 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 apple coarsely grated
• 1/2 cup carrot puree (as you can see mine didn’t exactly become a puree)
• 1/2 cup skimmed soy milk with a squeeze of lemon juice
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg

1. Mix Streusel topping ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 400F/200C. In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients well to ensure it is well combined (flour, oats, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and Fibresure powder).

3. In a larger bowl mix the remaining ingredients thoroughly (applesauce, apple, carrot, soy, brown sugar and egg).

4. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just combined, do not overmix.

5. Line a muffin tray with cases and spoon the filling into the 12 holes. Sprinkle the Streusl mix on top and bake for 15-18 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in tray for 5 minutes.
