Christmas Morning Casserole Muffins Recipes

CHRISTMAS MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line 15 standard muffin cups with cupcake liners, or grease them.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour(s), oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, applesauce, sugar, brown sugar, canola or vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the cranberries, apple, and zucchini.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and whisk together just until incorporated.
• Divide between 15 or so muffin cups - approximately a scant 1/2 cup each.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched.
• Line the counter with a couple of paper towels, and place a wire rack on top. Once the muffins are cool enough to touch, move them to a wire rack.
• Allow the muffins to cool to room temperature, or close - about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the glaze. Simply whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla, orange zest, milk and orange juice together until it's glaze consistency.
• Drizzle the glaze over the top of the muffins. If desired, top with sprinkles while the glaze is still wet (c'mon! It's Christmas! Go for it!)
