They're not a wonderfully healthy recipe, but better than many and my kids will actually eat them, making my life a bit easier.

Ingredients

6	tablespoons butter
3/4	cups all-purpose flour
3/4	cups whole wheat flour
1	teaspoon baking powder
1/2	teaspoon baking soda
1	teaspoon cinnamon
1/2	teaspoon salt
2	eggs
2/3	cup brown sugar
1 1/2	cups chunky applesauce

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with bake cups and set aside.
   
   
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for about 30 to 60 seconds; set aside to cool slightly.
   
   
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a large mixing bowl. When mixing dry and wet ingredients for muffins, gently stir just until the flour disappears. This will produce muffins with a nice crumbly texture.
   
   
4. In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar. Stir in the applesauce and melted butter until the mixture is smooth. For mess-free muffins, use an ice-cream scoop to spoon the batter into the bake cups.
   
   
5. Pour the apple mixture over the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined (it's ready when you can't see any traces of flour).
   
   
6. Fill the bake cups about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until light brown.
   
   
7. Test for doneness by inserting a knife in the middle of one muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are ready to eat. Makes 12.
