ORANGE MUFFINS WITH APRICOTS & CRANBERRIES



Orange Muffins With Apricots & Cranberries image

A lo-fat muffin that tastes great. This is a "heavy" muffin - not light & fluffy, but tasty. To reduce fat & cholesterol I replaced the butter with Smart Balance regular (not light) spread and used 2 egg whites.

APRICOT CORNMEAL MUFFINS



Apricot Cornmeal Muffins image

My son Monte and I both love fresh apricots. Living in Southern California, we're lucky to get them in abundance. I created this recipe for him. He loves the subtly sweet cornmeal muffin punctuated by bites of tart apricot. (Okay, I admit I'm paraphrasing-he is only five.)

Yield makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vanilla vegan yogurt
2/3 cup rice milk
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 teaspoons for sprinkling
1/2 cup dairy-free, soy-free vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Ener-G egg replacer mixed with 1/4 cup rice milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix (page 19)
3/4 cup fine cornmeal
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced apricots (they should be ripe, but still firm enough to cube into centimetersized chunks)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
  • In a bowl, combine the yogurt, rice milk, and lemon juice and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of the sugar, the shortening, and the egg replacer, mixing on medium speed for 20 seconds.
  • Add the rice milk mixture and the vanilla. Mix for 20 seconds.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour mix, cornmeal, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds.
  • Turn off the mixer and fold in the apricots.
  • Fill the liners with batter. They will be heaping. Smooth the tops slightly with a knife. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, or until lovely golden brown on top, rotating once about halfway through. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
