Phyllis Diller&#8217;s advice for looking like you&#8217;ve had a productive day ran something along the lines of making sure you are dressed by 4:00PM, dabbing some Pine-Sol behind each ear and putting an onion in a pot of boiling water. To all of that, I would add that you should whip up a batch of muffins, because in about 20 minutes, it looks like you really did something impressive and maybe just a tad arduous. In fact, muffins are so easy to do, that if it weren&#8217;t for the dog hair, I would let Riley make them. You mix up a few dry ingredients, mix up a few wet ingredients, mix the two mixtures together and bake them for 15 minutes or so. Ta-da! Muffins. If you are careful and use paper liners, you don&#8217;t even have to wash the tin. This version is actually a little healthy too! So, put down the Pine-Sol, and lets get started.<\/p>\n<p>In a medium bowl, whisk together<br \/>\n1 cup whole wheat flour<br \/>\n1 cup all purpose flour<br \/>\n1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon ground allspice<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg<br \/>\n1 teaspoon baking soda<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon salt<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3457\" title=\"1wwam\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/1wwam.jpg\" alt=\"1wwam\" style=\"border:none;\" width=\"600\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/1wwam.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/1wwam-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>In a smaller bowl or 4 cup measuring cup, beat together<br \/>\n1 &amp; 1\/2 cups <a href=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/?p=3418\" target=\"_blank\">applesauce<br \/>\n<\/a>1\/4 cup vegetable oil<br \/>\n1\/4 cup honey<br \/>\n1\/3 cup milk or buttermilk<br \/>\n1 egg<br \/>\n1 teaspoon vanilla<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3456\" title=\"2wwam\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/2wwam.jpg\" alt=\"2wwam\" style=\"border:none;\" width=\"600\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/2wwam.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/2wwam-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and using a rubber spatula, fold together just until combined. Don&#8217;t over-mix or your muffins will be tough, and no one will believe you&#8217;ve been slaving over tough muffins. Divide the batter evenly in a 12 muffin tin, that has been well greased or lined with paper liners.<br \/>\nSprinkle the tops with raw sugar or some other kind of coarse sugar.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3455\" title=\"3wwam\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3wwam.jpg\" alt=\"3wwam\" style=\"border:none;\" width=\"600\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3wwam.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3wwam-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in one of the middle muffins comes out clean. Remove muffins and cool on a rack. If you want to truly complete the illusion, you can be standing by the door with a plate of them in hand when your family walks in the door.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3454\" title=\"4wwam\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/4wwam.jpg\" alt=\"4wwam\" style=\"border:none;\" width=\"600\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/4wwam.jpg 600w, http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/4wwam-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>And as Phyllis said, &#8220;Housework can&#8217;t kill you, but why take a chance?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other posts you may like:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/?p=3418\" target=\"_blank\">Coconut Lime Mini-Muffins<br \/>\nPomegranate Applesauce<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/?p=560\" target=\"_blank\">Lemon Poppyseed Muffins<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/?p=1044\" target=\"_blank\">Fresh Apple Snack Cake<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muffins can save your reputation.
