Best Oatmeal Muffins With Figs And Walnuts Recipes

FRESH FIG OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
• Place half of the figs in a blender; blend until smooth. Chop remaining figs with a sharp knife.
• Beat eggs, applesauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a bowl until frothy. Mix in flour, blended and chopped figs, flax meal, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add flour with mixer on low; fold in oats. Spoon batter into muffin cups.
• Bake in preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.

OATMEAL WALNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place paper liners in each of 12 muffin cups.
• Whisk eggs well, then whisk in oil, oatmeal and vanilla.
• In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda until there are no more lumps of brown sugar. Add walnuts and toss to coat.
• Add liquid mixture and fold in, just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
• Spoon into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. An ice cream scoop works well for this. You may have enough batter for a 13th muffin.
• Bake 18 - 20 minutes or until they test done. Allow to cool 10 minutes in the muffin pan, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• These freeze well.
