Donut Muffin

I made these in the mini muffin pans.  The original recipe says they taste like a donut..I changed them up a little to add more flavor and nutrients and they are really good.  I will post both versions..original and queen style :) Thanks to my new friend Michelle for the recipe and letting me  grind flour at her house every Wednesday :)


Donut Muffins Queen B Style

1 1/2 cup fresh ground flour (hard red and hard white or soft white mix)
1 ½ tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup flax seeds ground
½ tsp.  sea salt
¼ tsp. Cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ cup kefir milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce


Combine first 5 ingredients. Combine last 5 ingredients separately. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and stir just until moistened. Pour into muffin cups sprayed with eat clean cooking spray and top with streusel.

Streusel Topping:

2 Tbsp. softened butter
¼ cup chopped pecans
¼ brown sugar
2-3 Tbsp. wheat flour

Combine until crumbly and sprinkle over each muffin before baking.Bake at 350 for 20 minutes

I also made 3 varieties.. I used sucanat on the topping instead of brown sugar mixed with some flour and oats to make it crunchy..did the same thing with sucanat sugar and walnuts instead of pecans.  I like them all. The kids like the ones with no nuts of course.
