1 | Preheat the oven to 375°F |
2 | In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients.
Add any additional dry ingredients - see optional items #19-21. Mix well. - 1/2 C of Brown Sugar can be substituted for Apple Sauce. Adjust Oil to 1/2 C. |
3 | Set kettle to boil approx. 2 C water. |
4 | Beat egg in a medium sized bowl. |
5 | Whisk in Apple Sauce |
6 | Scrape the beans from 1 Vanilla pod. Mix in to wet ingredients.
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract may be substituted. |
7 | Measure 1/2 C dried fruit in large measuring cup. |
8 | Pour the boiling water to just cover dried fruit. Mix a few times. |
9 | Mix wet ingredients into dry, combining them well. |
10 | Coat 12 cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray. |
11 | Strain the dried fruit, reserving the water, and add them to the batter. |
12 | Mix in 1/2 C of the reserved water, reheating in the microwave if it has cooled. |
13 | - Mix in chocolate chips, if desired. |
14 | Using a 1/4 C measuring cup, portion the batter into muffin pan. |
15 | - Sprinkle with Turbinado Sugar, if desired. |
16 | Bake approx. 25 minutes. For a moister muffin a few crumbs on the tester is okay. Those concerned about raw egg should wait until tester comes out clean. |
17 | Cool 10 minutes. Turn muffins out onto rack; cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Freezes well. |
