1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1/2 c milk
1/4 c molasses
1/4 c vegetable oil (can sub applesauce if you prefer)
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease 8 three-inch muffin pan cups.
  • 2. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add apple and stir to distribute evenly.
  • 3. In a small bowl, beat together milk, molasses, oil and egg. Stir into dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Fill muffin pan cups with batter. Bake 5 minutes and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake 12 to 15 minutes longer or until center of muffins spring back when gently pressed. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pan; cool slightly. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a large mixing bowl to allow for easy mixing and stirring of the ingredients.
  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to ensure a smooth and evenly textured batter.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the wet ingredients to ensure even distribution and avoid lumps.
  • Stir in the molasses until just combined to avoid overmixing and a tough batter.
  • Grate the apple coarsely to achieve a chunky texture within the bread.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • Bake the bread at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving to maintain its shape and texture.
