ORANGE MUFFINS WITH APRICOTS & CRANBERRIES



Orange Muffins With Apricots & Cranberries image

A lo-fat muffin that tastes great. This is a "heavy" muffin - not light & fluffy, but tasty. To reduce fat & cholesterol I replaced the butter with Smart Balance regular (not light) spread and used 2 egg whites.

APRICOT CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Apricot Cornmeal Muffins image

My son Monte and I both love fresh apricots. Living in Southern California, we're lucky to get them in abundance. I created this recipe for him. He loves the subtly sweet cornmeal muffin punctuated by bites of tart apricot. (Okay, I admit I'm paraphrasing-he is only five.)

Yield makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vanilla vegan yogurt
2/3 cup rice milk
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 teaspoons for sprinkling
1/2 cup dairy-free, soy-free vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Ener-G egg replacer mixed with 1/4 cup rice milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
3/4 cup fine cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced apricots (they should be ripe, but still firm enough to cube into centimetersized chunks)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
  • In a bowl, combine the yogurt, rice milk, and lemon juice and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of the sugar, the shortening, and the egg replacer, mixing on medium speed for 20 seconds.
  • Add the rice milk mixture and the vanilla. Mix for 20 seconds.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour mix, cornmeal, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds.
  • Turn off the mixer and fold in the apricots.
  • Fill the liners with batter. They will be heaping. Smooth the tops slightly with a knife. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, or until lovely golden brown on top, rotating once about halfway through. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.

ORANGE CORN MUFFINS

This is an old recipe that I decided to improve upon-and I like this version so much better! Sometimes, I'll make lemon corn muffins by substituting lemon peel if I don't happen to have any oranges on hand. -Hope Huggins, Santa Cruz, California

APRICOT MUFFINS

These are moist and chewy. I sometimes add 1/2 cup of dates as well as the apricots. A family favorite!

Time 30m

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
1 egg

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.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.
