Applesauce Wheat Muffins

Here is a healthy little muffin to start your day with. It makes just over a dozen. I so wish I had thrown in some frozen blueberries or raspberries- would have been perfect! But they were really tasty.

Applesauce Wheat Muffins
1/2 c butter or oil (I have substituted applesauce before and it still turns out)
1/2 c honey
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup applesauce
2 c whole-wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
Nuts (optional)
I also throw in a small handful of cracked wheat.

Cream together shortening and honey. Add eggs and applesauce; mix. Add dry ingredients. Stir to moisten. Bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes.
