Homemade is usually better (and healthier) than boxed, so not surprised they turned out well.I just made some awesome applesauce bran muffins from scratch. I have been craving them and used to buy the Krusteaz box mix but no one carries it so I decided to give scratch a try. They turned out super moist and not overly sweet.
They sound just heavenly. The great thing about muffins is that they freeze so well.Here are my applesauce-blueberry-pecan-zucchini muffins. Topped with a wee bit of crumb topping.
I started out with a recipe, but decided to do my own thing. They are decadent! I may call them A to Z Muffins! I opened that corner muffin to get a glimpse inside. Then I ate it. (Don't mind the Halloween liners; they're all I have left. I really need to stock up on baking supplies again. I use liners to keep my pans cleaner.)

Yum. Those sound and look delicious.Here are my applesauce-blueberry-pecan-zucchini muffins.
Thanks for the suggestions! I did a quick check on Amazon, and the couple I looked at were seriously price gouging. But I’ll continue to keep an eye out both in the store and online.Have you tried bulk food stores? Or even restaurant supply companies? Around here, especially when restaurants were mostly closed, their suppliers were selling to the general public.The amounts were larger sizes than typically found in grocery stores, but that might work for you, if you bake a lot of bread. Also, maybe check Amazon. It looks like they have several types of different yeast.
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that given how much time I’ve spent on the KA website! Thanks, Winchester . I’m going to try one of their cocoas, too. I was using the Trader Joe’s cocoa for the KA brownies I make, but I haven’t been to TJ’s since February. I’ve been using Hershey cocoa from the grocery store, and it’s just not as good.Tobermory King Arthur has yeast and it's not expensive, although you'll pay for shipping: Search | King Arthur Flour
They look positively delicious. I'm drooling on my keyboard now.Here are my applesauce-blueberry-pecan-zucchini muffins. Topped with a wee bit of crumb topping.
