Jerilyns Whole Wheat Apple Cider And Blackberry Muffins Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE CRUMB MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat oven to 375oF. Line pan with paper muffin cups or grease the wells and top of pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Make crumb topping. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Work butter into mixture until crumbly. Set aside.
• Combine dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl. Make a well in the center by pushing the dry ingredients to the side and creating a hole in the middle.
• Combine wet ingredients. In a second mixing bowl, whisk together oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
• Add wet to dry. Pour wet ingredients all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a rubber spatula, but do not overbeat. The batter will be lumpy. Stir in apples. Divide the batter into the wells, filling each well.
• Sprinkle on crumb topping.
• Bake muffins. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer each muffin to a wire cooling rack to continue to cool.
• Make icing. In a small mixing bowl, stir together all icing ingredients. Adjust consistency if needed. Drizzle on cooled muffins.

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE CIDER BRAN MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray two 24-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Place bran cereal in the bowl of a food processor; process until ground to a flour-like consistency. Transfer to a large bowl. Add flour, apple, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; toss to combine.
• Mix together apple cider, applesauce, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to the apple cider mixture and gently mix until combined; batter will appear runny. Allow to rest while baking soda and apple cider cause batter to thicken and double in size, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Scoop a small amount of batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.

WHOLE WHEAT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper liners. Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
• Whisk vegetable oil, egg, milk, and applesauce together in a separate bowl until smooth, and stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture until moistened. Lightly stir in the blueberries. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them 2/3 full.
• Bake muffins in the preheated oven until they rise and the tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean.
