APPLE SPICE MUFFINS

APPLE SPICE MUFFINS
This recipe comes from Jessica Seinfeld (Jerry's wife). It was in a Shape Magazine. We made them at preschool. The kids have loved them. I had lots of pumpkin on hand, so I used 1 cup pumpkin instead of carrot and apple.

1/4 c margarine - softened
1/2 c pure maple syrup
1 (6 oz) lemon yogurt
1/2 c sour cream
1 large egg
1 large carrot, grated
1 small apple, grated
1/2 c raisins
---
1 c flour
1 c whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice powder
1/2 tsp ground clove
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 12 muffin tin with cooking spray or liners.

Mix first 8 ingredients. Stir mixture and break up with a spoon.

Sprinkle the rest of the ingredients on margarine mixture. Stir just until combined, but do not overmix - the batter is suppose to be lumpy.

Divide batter among cups. Bake 20-25 mintues.

Keep in an airtight container for 2 days or freeze for up to one month.
