Fresh Apple Muffins with Molasses

 

Recipe By :Jennifer Raymond

Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Breads

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups whole-wheat flour -- (pastry)

1/2 cup sugar -- or other sweetener

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups finely chopped green apple

1 1/2 cups soy milk or rice milk

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1/3 cup blackstrap molasses

3/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup chopped nuts -- (walnuts)

 

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in

a mixing bowl.

 

2. Quarter and core the apples, then chop them finely in a food processor or by

hand. (Expected yield: 1 medium-large per cup). Place them into a large mixing

bowl and add the milk, vinegar, and molasses. Stir until just mixed, then stir

in the raisins and nuts. [Add the flour mixture; and stir until just mixed.]

 

3. Lightly spray muffin cups with vegetable oil spray and fill to top with

batter. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the tops bounce back when lightly pressed.

Remove the muffins from the oven and let stand about 5 minutes, then remove from

the pan and cool on a rack.

 

TIP - Store in an airtight container.

 

TIP - Blackstrap molasses, which is a rich source of calcium and iron, is not

particularly sweet -- hence the sugar in the recipe. If you choose to substitute

regular molasses, which is significantly sweet, reduce the sugar or eliminate it

altogether, depending on your preference for sweets.
