It’s a stormy, rainy day on the west coast and it feels like a good day for baking comfort food – Muffins!  There’s just something about muffins hot out of the oven and hot cup of coffee to help one warm up on a day like today.  Today I’m going to list a recipe that I adapted several years ago and love making on days like today!

Banana Apple Spelt Muffins

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Canola or Corn oil

1/2 cup applesauce

2 eggs

2 medium ripe bananas, mashed

1 3/4 cup spelt flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

optional : 1 cup chopped pecans or chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Beat oil, applesauce and eggs until light and fluffy.  Stir in bananas.  Stir in dry ingredients.  Add optional items if using.  Pour into muffin tins with liners and make for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Although these muffins come out of the oven quite well risen, they tend to flatten out after 15 minutes or so.  They go stale quickly when left at room temperature so I tend to pop them into the freezer quickly.  They keep in the freezer well and thaw out quickly for mid-morning snacks in lunch kits!  Try out this recipe and let me know what you think!
