Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

I added 1/2 cup chopped chestnuts. Moist, dense, delicious.

I only gave this 4 stars because I didn't use the cranberry or orange zest. I used strawberries and a dash of lemon extract. The flavor of these muffins is great though and I most certainly will make them again. The recipe is basic that you can freely substitute many fruits! I love that it uses applesauce instead of oil, that helps lighten it up. Great recipe!
