Banana Nut Bread and Apple Muffins from

Of course I added fresh eggs, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, a little sugar,cinnamon, fruit and nuts. The "whole wheat" pancake mix actually was picked up by mistake, thinking I was...

Categories     Pancakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 c whole wheat pancake mix
1 c all purpose flour
NOTE: FOR MUFFINS WITH RAISIN BRAN CEREAL, USE 1 & 1/2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR ONLY.
1 Tbsp oil for muffins; 1/3 cup for bread recipe
1 small container applesauce for muffins.
1 egg for muffins; 2 eggs for bread.
1 c fat free milk for muffins; 1/4 cup milk for bread.
1 Tbsp baking powder for muffins; only 1 & 1/2 tsp. for bread.
1/3 c light brown sugar for muffins; 1/2 cup gran.sugar for bread.
1 tsp cinnamon for either recipe.
1 c chopped granny smith apple
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
or two mashed ripe bananas, and optional 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for bread.
quick bread also includes baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Full directions are on the box of whole wheat pancake mix, by A.J. THESE ARE WONDERFUL RECIPES, WHICH I WILL USE MANY TIMES. THEY ARE QUICK, EASY AND PERFECT.
  • 2. The Apple-Walnut Muffins are made in several steps: First you measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and set aside.
  • 3. In a medium sized bowl, mix one egg, one cup milk, one tablespoon oil, one small or individual-size serving of "Natural" apple sauce (unsweetened); and blend together.
  • 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.
  • 5. The Granny Smith apple needs to be cored, peeled and shredded. I prefer to use one large G.S. Apple. I also use 1 cup of chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped.
  • 6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir in the apple and walnuts.
  • 7. Have a twelve-cup Medium-size muffin pan sprayed with oil, and an ice-cream scoop also sprayed with oil ready. The oven should be preheated to 425 degrees.
  • 8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for at least 25 minutes. Remove tin and let rest on the counter on a cake rack for a few minutes, then loosen muffins. Enjoy one (or two) while warm with a nice hot cup of coffee for breakfast each morning! We do!
