    Why yes, I did just post muffins last week!  Did you see my Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins?   

    I've made more muffins this month than I made all of last year.  Before this, I was all about biscotti, like this Pumpkin Pie Biscotti or this Almond Lavender Biscotti.

    But now I've decided I like making muffins.  They are easy to make and easy to make healthy!

    Instructions:

    • First you mix the streusel ingredients in a small bowl.
    • Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
    • Combine the wet ingredients and the sugar in a small bowl or a batter bowl.
    • Add wet ingredients to dry and ingredients and mix until just combined.
    • Line a muffin tin with paper cup liners and fill with batter.
    • Top with streusel mixture.
    • Bake.
    • When cooled, glaze with maple glaze.

    These whole grain muffins stay so moist from the diced apple!   

    There is just enough crumb or streusel on top to give it a little added sweetness and crunch and the maple glaze adds a little extra maple flavor.

    Variations - you could add some raisins or dried cranberries.
