Gingerbread Muffins

I’ve finally made it back!  I’m not sure if everyone had to register again and receive a new password or not, but I did.  I hope everyone has had a nice long weekend.  These muffins are so good and not so hard on the waistline.

2/3 c. sugar

1/2 c. vegetable oil

2 egg whites

1 whole egg

1 c. unsweetened applesauce

1 c. molasses

1 1/2 c. white flour

1 c. whole wheat flour

2 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. allspice

1/2 tsp. salt (optional)

In a bowl beat sugar, oil, egg and egg whites until blended.  Add applesauce and molasses, mix until blended.

In a second bowl, combine dry ingredients.

Gradually add dry ingredients to other mixture.  Mix only until moistened and blended.  Do NOT overmix.

Fill lined muffin tins 2/3 full.

Bake at 350 degrees 18-22 minutes (if light colored tins OR 325 degrees if dark tins). 
Yield:  21 muffins
