Apple Pie Multi Grain Muffins

These muffins taste like apple pie—they are so yummy, especially if eaten right out of the oven. They’re a little crunchy due to the uncooked Multi Grain hot cereal, if you like it to be less crunchy you can make the muffin batter the night before and allow the mix to sit in the refrigerator over night to allow the grain to soak up some moisture—this will make the grains less crunchy—you may have to add a small amount of liquid the next day if the mixture is too thick.

Apple Pie Multi Grain Muffins

1/3 c Granola

1/3 c Red River Cereal (not cooked) (any Multi Grain hot cereal will do)

2 c Oatmeal (not cooked)

2 c Wheat Flour

1 ½ tsp Cinnamon (or more depending on your taste)

1 tsp salt

2 Tb Thrive Egg Powder + 2 Tb water (this can be substituted by using 2 eggs)

1Tb Coconut Oil

1/3 c Honey

1 Quart of Apple Pie Filling (Pancake Toppings) 

1 ½ c Liquid from Apple Pie Filling (Pancake Toppings) + ½ c (If there is not enough liquid from your Apple Pie Filling (Pancake Toppings) use water---this may or may not be needed depending on elevation)

2 Tbls Baking Powder

Grease or line muffin pan and preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Drain 1 Quart of Apple Pie Filling (Pancake Toppings)  making sure to put the liquid and apples on the side to be use later in the recipe

Mix 2Tb of Thrive Egg Powder and 2Tb water, this equals 2 raw eggs.

Leaving liquid from Apple Pie Filling (Pancake Toppings), Baking Powder, and Apples to the side mix all remaining ingredients (including the eggs).

Add 1 ½ c of liquid from Apple Pie Filling (Pancake Toppings) to mixture. Add more liquid/water to the mixture if it is too thick.

Add Apples and Baking Powder to mixture and mix well. Let mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the baking powder to start to raise the mixture---this will allow the muffins to be nice and airy and moist.
