Applesauce Cupcakes
Makes 12 cupcakes.
Looking for a healthy snack or
dessert?  Try these cupcakes made
from unsweetened applesauce.  They
need no frosting and keep well for
several days. They are a good source
of dietary fiber, Vitamin K, Vitamin E
and iron.  I have even eaten them for
breakfast!
Mix in a medium-sized bowl with an electric mixer:
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1/3 cup brown sugar
¼ cup canola oil

Combine in a medium bowl:
¾ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oatmeal, not quick cooking)
¼ cup wheat germ
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Stir dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture.  Stir in ¾ cup raisins.  Spoon batter into a greased
muffin tin.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until a toothpick comes out clean, 15 – 20 minutes.
