Muffin recipes: Cinnamon and apple butter

Something about the cold makes me want to make muffins!

Apple Butter Muffins (this recipe comes from Money Saving Mom)

1 cup oats
1 cup milk
1/2 cup apple butter
2 eggs (of course I used 1/2 cup applesauce instead)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix oats, milk, apple butter and eggs. Whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in raisins.

Spoon mixture into greased muffin pan. Sprinkle tops of muffin batter with sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done. Makes one dozen and freezer-friendly.

Baked Apple Spice Doughnuts with Cinnamon Glaze

Now, as you can see, these do not look like doughnuts, haha! I don't have a doughnut pan, so made muffins instead and oh did they taste good.

This is a Betty Crocker recipe with Bisquick.

2 cups Bisquick
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla

Glaze:

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Sprinkles if desired

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray mini doughnut pan or muffin pan with cooking spray. Mix all doughnut ingredients until blended. Spoon batter into pan, using about 1 Tbsp for each doughnut.

Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Remove doughnuts from pan to cooking rack, cool 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 Tbsp milk and 1/2 tsp vanilla and whisk until smooth. Dip tops of doughnuts in glaze; top with sprinkles.
