It’s Munro Day today, a public holiday for Dalhousie University. Thus, I have decided to whip up some muffins with whatever I have on hand; applesauce and frozen cranberry. I started Google for cranberry applesauce muffin and found this interesting recipe: Cranberry Applesauce Muffin. It was pretty easy and I got it all done in less than half an hour. The only change I made was to substitute pecan with sunflower seeds. The muffins turn out awesome.
This recipe yields about 9 large muffins:
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a muffin pan, or use paper liners.
- In a small bowl, mix together applesauce, oil and egg. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in egg mixture. Stir until just moistened. Fold in cranberries and pecans. Spoon into muffin cups, 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 2 minutes before removing.
For those celebrating the lunar New Year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all a happy, prosperous and healthy Rabbit year ahead. We have been quite busy lately and thus, not able to prepare much CNY cookies.
