Apple Cinnamon Muffin

A very simple and nutritious snack with fruit, nuts and whole wheat flour. Very filling for hungry kids returning from school.
Ingredients:
1. Whole wheat Flour - 1 cup
2. Sugar - 1/2 cup
3. Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp
4. Cooking Soda - 1/2 tsp
5. Cinnamon Powder - 1 tsp.
6. Oil/Ghee - 1/2 cup
7. Apples Grated with seeds removed - 2 nos.
8. Finely chopped walnuts - 1/4 cup
9. Milk - 3/4 cup
10. Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp.

Sieve the flour with ingredients 3,4 and 5 three to four times. In a large bowl, combine the flour mixture with Items 2,6, 7, 8. Mix well adding milk. Add the vanilla essence and mix.Stir in one direction preferably till the mixture is smooth without lumps. Grease and dust a muffin tray and pour one ladle full of batter in each cavity in the muffin tray. Pre heat the oven to about 220 - 250 degree and bake the muffins at 200 degree for 20 minutes - 22 minutes. Yippee! The muffins are ready to be devoured by the little and big citizens of your household.

After 10 minutes remove the muffins and cool it on a wire rack so that the underside of the muffin also gets cooled. Storing it immediately in a dabba makes it 'sweat' and it will get spoilt easily.
I am also attaching a photo taken by my son of the only muffin which was left over in the evening. This amount of batter makes six big muffins.
Note: Oven is pre heated to a higher temperature to make up for the loss in temperature when you open the door to keep the muffin tray.
