Applesauce Muffins
½ c. sugar
½ c. brown sugar
½ c. butter or margarine (I use Smart Balance)
2 eggs
2 c. flour (you can use 1 ½ c. white flour and ½ c. whole wheat flour)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. mace (or nutmeg)
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. vanilla
¾ c. applesauce
¼ c. sour cream
2 Tbsp. ground flax seed (optional)
Cream butter and sugar by hand. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. In another bowl combine applesauce and sour cream. Add creamed mixture alternately with applesauce mixture. Mix just until combines. Fill greased or paper lined muffin tin 2/3 full. Sprinkle top with chopped pecans if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. These freeze well.

Thanks for posting your 2-week menu - I know I'm not the only one who's been really curious about how you feed a family for so little! Hope you'll keep posting these menus, as well as your terrific recipes!

p.s. the new layout looks great.
Jen I have several menues throughout the blog. I will create a link directly to the menus. I'm also going to give my breakfast and lunch ideas as well. Thanks for your compliments on the layout! :)
What can I use instead of the sour cream so they won't be dairy?
In Israel, I cannot find cornstarch or cornmeal.
Only cornflour.
So, how to make my favorite cornmeal muffins?
Any ideas?
AngeloMamas, you can probably use a soy based sour cream but I have not tried it so am not sure it would work the same as dairy. For the corn muffins, I would say try to find an on-line site to order the cornmeal or if you can find dried corn and have a grain mill you can grind it yourself.
