ANY-FRUIT-WILL-DO MUFFINS WITH STREUSEL TOPPING
Originally from Bon Appetit and claimed as one of their best muffin recipes. Consider making for breakfast, too.

Time 50m
Yield 10-12 muffins
Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- For the streusel topping:.
- Mix sugar, cinnamon and pinch of salt in a small bowl or work bowl of a food processor, add butter. If mixing by hand, use fingertips, a pastry blender, or 2 forks to blend the fat into dry ingredients until mixture looks like coarse irregular crumbs, with no visible lumps of butter. If mixing in a food processor, pulse about 10 times, then process 5 to 10 seconds, until there are no visible lumps of butter; stir in nuts. Set aside.
- For the muffins:.
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease the top surface of a 12-cup muffin pan; use liners, if necessary.
- Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour with next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
- Whisk together next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; whisk in buttermilk and vanilla. Gently whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients to partially blend. Continue mixing batter with a rubber spatula, making sure that ingredients at the bottom are incorporated into batter fold in fruit. (Frozen fruit will help "firm" up batter. If batter seems too wet add a few more tablespoons of flour, up to 1/4 cup, to stiffen batter.).
- Using an ice-cream scoop, place a portion of batter into each muffin cup, filling to the brim. Sprinkle a portion of streusel topping over batter in each muffin cup.
- Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 10 to 12 minutes or until muffins are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed with fingertips. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- NOTES:.
- To simplify muffin making, quadruple the streusel topping recipe and freeze.
- Orange, lemon, or lime zests can be used to flavor the muffins, if you like.
- Lemon works well with blueberry.
- Orange zest with cranberry or rhubarb.
- Lime zest with banana chunks.
- Almost any fruit works in this recipe. Good choices include:.
- apples, cut into small dice.
- bananas, cut into firm, small chunks.
- blueberries.
- cranberries, coarsely chopped.
- dried sour cherries or cranberries.
- raspberries.
- rhubarb, diced (fresh or frozen).
- strawberries, quartered or cut into small dice.
- To prevent delicate, highly colored fruits like raspberries, cranberries, and blueberries from getting mashed and discoloring the batter, use semi frozen fruit.
- It is not necessary to use paper baking liners if the muffin tin is commercial, glazed, or nonstick.

OAT BRAN FRUIT MUFFINS
I recently tried PaulaG's Pumpkin Fruit and Nut Muffins (#116356) and loved the wonderful moistness given to these by the apricots and raisins. So much so, I went looking through my cookbooks for recipes that might capture that same delightful quality. The original comes from "The 250 Best Muffin Recipes" but I've already started tweaking it a bit here. This has been updated since Roosie's review.

FRUIT AND OATMEAL MUFFINS
This was a recipe I put together to use up some dried fruit. They are a dense muffin and reduced fat. You can use a sugar substitute to even reduce the calories. I sometimes use an egg substitute, too. These muffins have become so popular with our friends that every time we have a tailgate party or golf get together I must bring them.

Tips:
- Prepare your ingredients: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly.
- Preheat your oven: Always preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start baking. This will help your muffins to rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dense or undercooked.
- Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give your muffins the best flavor. If you can, use fruit that is in season. This will ensure that your fruit is ripe and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups correctly: Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if your muffins are done baking.
