Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup applesauce
3 tbsp oil OR applesauce or mashed banana
2 tbsp milk of choice
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp white or cider vinegar
1 cup spelt,
1/4 cup sugar or unrefined sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each: baking soda and baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
optional handful raisins, (crushed walnuts, shredded coconut, etc.)

Steps:

  • *If you want to make mini muffins, bake only 10 minutes. I recommend this mini muffin pan.Whisk all liquid ingredients together. Preheat oven to 350, and line a muffin tin. In a new bowl, stir remaining ingredients very well. Pour dry into wet, and stir until just evenly mixed. Fill each liner about 2/3 of the way, leaving a little room because they will rise. Bake on the center rack, 20 minutes or until muffins have domed and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean. Let cool. (If you loosely cover overnight on the counter or refrigerated, the liners peel off easily the next day and flavor and texture are even better.) Leftovers can be frozen if desired.

Yield Makes 18

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
4 large eggs
Apple-Cider Applesauce or 1 1/2 cups store-bought applesauce
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin and a 6-cup tin with paper liners. Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together into a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Put 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, the granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs, one at a time. On low speed, mix in applesauce and then flour mixture. Stir in nuts by hand.
  • Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, in the clean bowl of electric mixer, mix cream cheese with remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and 1 cup brown sugar on medium speed until smooth. Spread cream-cheese frosting on muffins.

Tips for Making Applesauce Cardamom Muffins

  • Use ripe apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness.
  • Cook the apples until they are very soft. This will help to create a smooth and flavorful applesauce.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the applesauce until it is smooth. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the applesauce with a fork.
  • Add the cardamom to the applesauce before baking the muffins. This will help to infuse the muffins with a warm and fragrant flavor.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature (350 degrees F) for about 20 minutes. This will help to ensure that the muffins are cooked through without becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.

Conclusion

Applesauce cardamom muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The applesauce and cardamom give these muffins a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone. Give them a try today!
