Dried fruit and granola muffins with a honey-yogurt glaze
These muffins are juicy and just a tad sweet, bursting with healthy cinnamon raision granola and assorted dried fruit. They are virtually fat-free, with applesauce used instead of oil or butter. But they become something much more decadent once you drizzle on that optional-but-recommended honey-yogurt glaze.
Ingredients
- dry:
- 1.5 cups 187 grams whole wheat flour
- ½ cup 62 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup 100 gram brown sugar
- 2 tsps ground cinnamon
- wet:
- 1 cup 250 grams almond milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup 125 grams apple sauce
- filling:
- ½ cup dried fruits and nuts of your choice I used a mix of cranberries, raisins, pistachios, and walnuts, but any dried fruit you have on hand will work
- ½ cup cinnamon raisin granola plus more for sprinkling on top of glaze (if using)
- honey-yogurt glaze optional:
- ¼ cup of Earth Balance or butter
- ⅛ cup of honey
- ⅛ cup of yogurt
- 1-1.5 cups of powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350F.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients separately in a large bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet. Add granola and dry fruit mixture, and stir just enough to combine.
- Oil muffin form and bake muffins for 30 minutes, until a knife inserted in the middle comes out dry. Serve with a pat of butter or coconut oil.
- Optional: if making honey-yogurt glaze, cream together ¼ cup of Earth Balance with ⅛ cup of honey and ⅛ cup of yogurt. Gradually whisk in 1-1.5 cups of powdered sugar, until glaze stiffens and peaks are formed. Top each muffins with honey-yogurt glaze and more granola.
