GIANT FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CASHEW MUFFINS



Giant Flourless Chocolate Cashew Muffins image

I love to make these in a giant muffin pan (that holds six, instead of the usual 12) for a fabulous oversized muffin, but you can also make them in a regular muffin tin or even a loaf pan.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 6 giant muffins (or 12 regular muffins)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups smooth cashew butter, slightly warmed
5 large eggs
2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Microwave the cashew butter in 30-second increments until it is slightly warm and easy to stir.
  • Beat together the cashew butter and eggs with an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, baking soda and salt until the mixture is smooth, thick and glossy (like a brownie batter).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake until the muffins puff up, the tops are cracked and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup boiling water
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan, or line with paper muffin cups. Place apricots into a small bowl, and pour the boiling water over them. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended. It is okay for the batter to have some lumps. Drain water from apricots, and mix them into the batter. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.

1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar blend
2 2/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Gather and measure all your ingredients before you start baking. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, ripe apricots: This will give your muffins the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help ensure that all the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will prevent the muffins from being underbaked or overbaked.

Conclusion:

These apricot raisin muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for using up fresh apricots, and the cashew topping adds a nice crunch. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect muffins every time.
