Low-fat Applesauce Muffins

The weaknesses we see in the people of the Bible are the very weaknesses we ought to recognize in ourselves. Like Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, we are vulnerable to temptation when we act on our own. Like Abraham, who lied about his wife to save his neck, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are scared. Like David, who slept with Bathsheba while his men were off to war, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are idle. Like Elijah, who wanted God to end his life, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are exhausted. Like Peter, who denied his Lord even after he promised to die for him, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are overconfident. In other words, we are vulnerable to temptation practically all the time.

INSTRUCTIONS

I've had mixed success with no-fat-added muffins. Usually, they are
not as light and come out brick-like.  But these were light, moist,
and lasted a couple days like that.  Prepare the muffin pan using
lowfat cooking spray and preheat oven to  425 degrees. Combine the
flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and  salt in a bowl.  Mix well.
Lightly beat the egg and mix in the milk.  Add the applesauce and
egg/milk to the flour mixture and mix until  just moistened. Try to
avoid overstirring, as this may create  "tunneling" in the finished
muffin.  Spoon the mixture into the muffin pans and bake for about 17
minutes.  Test for doneness with a toothpick: if the toothpick comes
out moist,  then let cook for another minute or so. If dry, then
muffins are done.  TGEORGES@NYX.CS.DU.EDU  (TOM GEORGES)

A Message from our Provider:

“Do not look to your hope, but to Christ, the source of your hope. #Charles Spurgeon”

It is required of us that we be tender of the good name of our brethren; where we cannot speak well, we had better say nothing than speak evil; we must not take pleasure in making known the faults of others, divulging things that are secret, merely to expose them, nor in making more of their known faults than really they deserve, and, least of all, in making false stories, and spreading things concerning them of which they are altogether innocent. What is this but to raise the hatred and encourage the persecutions of the world, against those who are engaged in the same interests with ourselves, and therefore with whom we ourselves must stand or fall?

Matthew Henry
