Crumb Cake Muffins
Yay! It hit 70 degrees (21°C) today! Besides working on my tan, I baked the Crumb Cake Muffins for breakfast. These are not just ordinary muffins with a crumb-topping. No, no, no … The muffin batter consists of applesauce, ginger, cinnamon & whipped egg whites! The oats & ginger crumb-topping was nice and crunchy. And now for the rating … drumroll please … 4.5 out of 5! These were just wonderful! The spices blended beautifully with the applesauce and I LOVED the texture.Crumb Cake Muffins recipe: MarthaStewart.com
