Blueberry muffins...

:::Shhh:::  It's a secret.  I take fabulous Betty Crocker muffin (and cookie) mixes and tweak them to make them even yummier.   People love them.  This is my latest, but I promise, I will share the others.  Thank you to Betty Crocker for creating mixes that mean I can bake without having to try THAT hard.

One of my many allergies is egg whites.  But I love to bake.  This causes problems, and tends to lead to sinus infections (don't ask...it's annoying yet true), which tends to make being a human, let alone a teacher, quite difficult.  I decided I would start testing out different baking substitutes.  This weekend was applesauce.

I took the Betty Crocker Wild Blueberry muffin mix and did this to it:

• exchanged blueberries provided with a pint of fresh blueberries
• instead of two eggs, used a snack applesauce cup (approx. 1/2 cup)
• added a mashed banana
• 2 T of flax seed
• 1/4 c of oatmeal

I baked these in the oven at the prescribed temp and time and was pleasantly surprised.  No idea if this will turn out twice in a row, or how it will work for people not at altitude (5,280 feet).  

Good luck.  Enjoy.  And next time can it snow after I make it home?
