Apple Cider Muffins - deeeeelicous


1.25 C Whole Wheat flour
.75 C all purpose flour
.5 C light brown sugar
1.5 tsp. baking powder
.75 tsp salt
.75 tsp. Cinnamon
1 C apple cider - or a tidge more if your muffin mix seems dry
1 large egg
.25 C vegetable oil
.50 C chopped walnuts - optional -- I opted NO

Preheat oven to 400. Grease 12 muffin tins or line with paper liners. Into a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients (the first six). Whisk to blend thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cider, egg and oil. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Blend with a wooden spoon until a moist, lumpy batter is formed. Stir in the walnuts, if desired. Spoon into muffin pan.

Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until done. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes then serve or remove from pan and cool on a rack for complete cooling.
