APPLESAUCE CRANBERRY MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Applesauce Cranberry Muffins Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-32299

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg (lightly beaten)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped into smaller pieces
1/2 cup pecans chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease the muffin tin. In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl mix the eggs, applesauce and oil. Add the applesauce mixture to the dry ingredients and mix together gently (do not over mix). Gently fold in the cranberries and scoop mixture into muffin cups until 2/3 full. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries, not dried cranberries, for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have applesauce, you can substitute mashed banana or pumpkin puree.
  • Add a streusel topping for extra flavor and texture. To make a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a bowl. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the muffin batter before baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. They're best served warm with butter or cream cheese.

Conclusion:

These applesauce cranberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They're also a great way to use up leftover applesauce and cranberries. With their moist, tender crumb and sweet-tart flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
