Whether for breakfast or snacking Applesauce Muffins with Streusel Topping are a family favorite. Easy to make, you'll love their flavor!





Applesauce Muffins with Streusel Topping
I'll be the first to admit my younger children are fussy, especially my 5-year-old. Anyone else have one or more of 'those' kids? Planning meals around her distinct tastes have become a challenge for me. As much as I want her to try new things, I've decided to take a different approach. The approach includes building off of what she will actually eat and incorporating these foods into a variety of different recipes.
Take for example oatmeal. Yes, she'll actually eat homemade oatmeal for breakfast or even lunch. This led me to make Breakfast Cookies, which contain, you guessed it.oatmeal. These offer her another option for breakfast or snacking.

Apples in most forms are another food item she actually enjoys. Within these tasty muffins, I added both applesauce and grated apple, pretty smart, huh?
Even though these muffins aren't too sugary, they satisfied her request for a snack after dinner with no problem. Happy mom here!!!

I'm frugal and wasting food is a huge pet peeve of mine, plus I'm feeding a large family so I'm always conscious of my budget and ways to save money. While shopping at my local Kroger store I was able to pick up a few essential ingredients to make a batch of Applesauce Muffins with Streusel Topping.

Yes, you can!!! Plus you can save even more on fuel too!

By using the Kroger REWARDS Visa® card while shopping at stores within the Kroger family you earn 2 rewards points per qualifying net $1 spent. Better yet, you can earn 3 rewards points per qualifying net $1 spent by purchasing Kroger brands (Kroger brand, Simple Truth, Private Selection, PSST).
Take the ingredients I purchased for my muffins at Kroger as an example. Triple reward points were earned by purchasing inexpensive items I use every single day. You can also earn 1 point for every qualifying net $1 you spend everywhere Visa® is accepted. Just that easy to save!
Earned points result in great rewards too! Every 1,000 Points = $5 in FREE groceries. Save at the pump too with the Kroger REWARDS Visa® Card, you'll save an additional 25¢ per gallon of fuel for one year, each time you redeem 100 Fuel Points. Really you get 3 cards in one - rewards card, shoppers card, and a Visa® card.
Talk about a convenient way to save money while stocking up on groceries! Gotta love that!
