Apple Butter Muffins

By Eliot, on November 21st, 2014

We canned up over nine pints of Grandma’s Apple Butter last weekend and wouldn’t you know it, but I had just about half a cup leftover with no jar to put it in.

Since I had a great Jam Muffin recipe in the archives, I knew for certain that there must be a recipe for muffins to utilize this remaining bit of apple butter.

Score!

Apple Butter Muffins
from Oatmeal Apple Butter Muffins

1 c. old fashioned oats
1 c. 2% milk
1/2 c. apple butter
2 farm fresh eggs
1 c. all-purpose flour (but whole wheat would be a great option)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 t. fine sea salt
2-3 T. additional oats for topping

Preheat oven to 400°.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, milk, apple butter, and eggs. In a smaller bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt.

Mix the wet and dry just until combined.

Scoop into prepared muffin tins, filling ¾ full. Top with a sprinkling of oats. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

With all this apple butter on hand, I would bet good money that I will eventually post some other baking recipes to utilize our surplus.

These muffins freeze well, too.

These muffins are great for any time of the day with a pot of freshly brewed tea.

Those are beautiful photos. I like the look of the old metal muffin pan. The muffins also look delicious.

Thanks, Mae. That is a HUGE and HEAVY muffin pan that my mom found for me. We did have these for breakfast and they were delicious!
