3 cups all-purpose flour3 cups whole-wheat flour
1 cup flax flour or flax meal
3 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, lightly packed
3 1/2 cups applesauce, unsweetened
2 cups blueberries, frozen
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
Method

40 muffin cups lined with muffin papers
1. In a large mixing bowl, mix the 3 flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs; add the oil, brown sugar, and applesauce.
3. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until blended or until the dry ingredients have been moistened.
4. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
5. Pour into the muffin cups, filling each muffin cup 2/3 full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) of brown sugar over the 40 muffins.
6. Bake 20–30 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Most commercial muffins are very high in simple sugars and fat. Adding applesauce to quick breads or muffins can make them a healthier choice. For the best flavour and texture, substitute half the amount of fat or oil the recipe calls for with applesauce. For example, if a recipe lists 1 cup (250 mL) of oil, use 1/2 cup (125 mL) oil and 1/2 cup (125 mL) of applesauce.
