Ueber-Healthy Apple Amaranth Muffins

My first concoction in weeks...



2 c. flour (I used 1 c. spelt, 1 c. whole wheat)
1 tsp baking powder
sprinkle salt
1 c. rolled oats
1/4 c. flax seeds
1/2 c. roasted amaranth (put in a hot pan and stir for about 10 minutes, until they brown)
1 TBSP cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cloves

Combine all of these ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

In another bowl, mix...

3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. rice or soy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1-1/2 c. applesauce*

*My applesauce was homemade - 3 small granny smith apples but into my juicer with a bit of water; if you use this, you may need to add more milk to make it wetter.

Then, pour these wet ingredients into the dry (slowly, stirring well). If this looks thick, you may need to add a bit more milk or water. If thin, add more oats. It will look lumpy in any case. Chop 3 apples into bite-sized bits and add them at the end (Raisins might be good here too). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Feel free to eliminate the amaranth and flax but then you can only call them Healthy Apple Muffins...
