Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons brown sugar

• 3 tablespoons shredded apple

1. The night before, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda in a microwave-safe mug; Cover and set aside.
2. In the morning, add the milk, butter (melted), and vanilla, stirring to combine. Fold in the apple.
3. Microwave for 2 minutes, then let cool slightly before serving.

My son likes his muffin plain…

…but I like adding a little extra chopped apple and a spoonful of vanilla non-dairy yogurt to serve. Or try a little dollop of soy whipped cream!
