I have a confession. Lately my use of whole wheat flour has been scarce at best.<\/p>\n

See, there was a time when I put black beans in brownies and made cookies from flax eggs and applesauce and wouldn’t consider eating anything besides 100% whole wheat bread. There is nothing wrong with that, really, but my personal outlook on health has morphed a bit since then. I’ve realized that I eat those things so rarely that when I want a brownie, I want a chocolately, fudgey one. And since I’ve been making my own bread, I’m more comfortable using bread flour to make it light, fluffy and delicious. Moderation baby.<\/p>\n

Long intro short, I’ve gotten more comfortable with the idea of treat yo’ self<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Especially when you can treat yourself with real ingredients in the comfort of your own kitchen.<\/p>\n

I had that mantra in mind when I created these little gems. Our breakfasts are pretty typical around here and I was trying to dream up a breakfast treat, reminiscent of Dunkin’ Donuts’ Munchkins to surprise Hailey with on a Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

After three tries, and plenty of tasting, I got it just right.<\/p>\n

\"vanilla<\/a>These Cinnamon Vanilla Apple Puffs are bite-sized breakfast treats will definitely make your family or friends smile. You will need a good, nonstick mini-muffin pan. I like this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By using unsweetened ingredients for the puffs themselves, it keeps them from being too <\/em>sweet. This way the puff stays cakey and delicious…<\/p>\n
