Almost Vegan Scrap Apple Cinnamon Muffins for the HMO Residents
August 25, 2021

I have the HMO Family Practice Residents this morning. I helped start this rotation with my old mentor almost a decade ago. Now I just give one lecture on Pediatric Obesity and mentor one morning. I used to think it was a burden, but now I really enjoy my one day. I make muffins for the three residents and I take them on a field trip to visit a former resident who works upstairs. He is a friend. I have a bag of our family’s garden produce with tomatoes, eggplants and peppers to give him. Today I did vary it up a bit. I usually make the HMO residents banana walnut muffins but this morning I was up at 430am and wanted to use up the semi-mushy apples. So I made almost vegan apple cinnamon muffins. I also cooked down most of the apples for my own kids for breakfast/lunch. My teen daughter is needing more fiber, if you know what I mean.
The muffins turned out really really really good, if I don’t say so myself. So I will feed the residents, myslef, my children and a few other people for almost nothing – since those apples were mushy anyway. Mushy fruit makes the best base of a muffin recipe. I only put in half the sugar and used whole wheat patry flour, so the muffins are chock full of fiber and just enough sweetness. Just like my life at the HMO.
