Smore Muffins

My dear friend, Amy, post this recipe on her blog a few days ago. I immediately went to check it out and see if I had the ingredients. Luckily, I did. This is all I have been thinking about since she posted it...I finally made them today and they are a keeper! Thanks Amy! I did make a couple of changes, but they are still wonderful!

Smore Muffins- adapted from A Foodie Fairytale
4 tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup applesauce
2/3 cup light sour cream
1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup milk
2/3 cup chocolate chips
mini marshmallows

Cream together butter and sugars. Add in applesauce and sour cream. Combine dry ingredients. Add into cream mixture and slowly add in milk. Mix until well combined. Batter will be thick. Fold in chocolate chips.

Place 1 tbsp batter in the bottom of muffin tins that have been greased. Place 4-5 marshmallows on top and cover with more batter. Place in 400 degree oven for 12-15 mins until toothpick comes clean.

 I had 12 regular muffins and 6 mini muffins. By the way, do you know what to do if you don't have enough batter for the muffin pan? Fill the empty ones with water. This keeps it from burning and allows for even cooking.

**These were fantastic! I love the chewiness of the marshmallow and even the crunchiness of the graham crackers!
