cupcakes

[NickieL]

since it is sooooo like a million below zero degrees outside right now I decided to make some cupcakes. pantry is kind of bare so i took inventory of what I have and came up with something I think is going to be good.

I call em "applesauce oatmeal honey cupcakes with a cinnamon glaze"

the first batch just came out of the oven and they smell really good. Even Jack is begging for one.

Save two for me! I'll be there as soon as possible! Sounds wonderful.

Anything warm and apple has my name written on it today. Save one for me!

[NickieL]

hehehe i just made the glaze. as soon as they cool I can glaze em and give em a try.

Sounds much like a muffin, but whatever you call them they sound delicious.

I'm reminded by your post that I have a German chocolate box mix in my pantry that should be used. I don't usually put frosting on cakes I make but that one might need some.

In case anyone wants it, this is how I made em. i didn't meassure and just eyed pretty much everything but I did keep track so I can make them again.

1 stick butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey (I used raspberry honey as that is what I had)
1 cup applesauce
2 giant eggs (lol, they were huge)
1 cup sifted ap flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teas. baking powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice (I ground my own)
1 teaspoon baking soda

for the glaze I just did a simple powdered sugar glaze added some cinnemon and vinella to it.

Heat over to 375
I beat the brown sugar and butter untill fluffy
then beat in the honey, applesauce, and eggs.

in another bowl I added all the dry ingrediants and combined (don't forget to sift the flours)

filled the paper cups half full

I baked them 20 minutes which was just right but test yours with a toothpick like any cake.

it made 18 cupcakes

Were they good?! I have all of the ingredients and I'm tempted to make them right now!

[NickieL]

I'll tell you in a minute. just mixed up some milk and have it chilling to go with.

NM LOL I couldn't wait for the milk.

i think it's delicious. It's a little heavy on the allspice, next time I'll do half a teaspoon. Probably stronger because i ground it fresh. but it's still very good. It's nice and moist and not overly sweet so the glaze is perfect for it.

Nickie all it lacks is some pecans. lol I will be making some shortley. Sounds delightful!

[NickieL]

yes that would be good LOL I had no nuts on hand

Purple Ribbon.

Good work.

I hope everyone reads while they are fresh. You know what they look like after they have been on display for a week.

[toni48]

Mercy me I've got to make some of those.

[NickieL]

I think I would grind up the oats a little next time. And actual chuncks of apple in it would be REALLY GOOD. All I had was apple sauce though.

[Bruenor]

Those look good. Did you save any for a fellow Hoosier?

[NickieL]

I have a lot left LOL They are actually a filling snack.

[Texasdirtdigger]

Sounds good to me!!

Nickie <> If one is a snack, How many does it take to make a meal?? Apples and oatmeal will both cure anything that ails you. including hunger. Real health food you made! How far out will you deliver?? I got a hankerin.

[Backfourty,MI.]

WOW, Those look Wonderful! I will have to try that recipe!
I make a Zuchini spice cupcake that Dh really loves other than those I don't usually make cupcakes unless it's a box cake mix.

[NickieL]
