Angelic Apple-Fruit Muffins
1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour
1 cup white self-raising flour
2 tsps. nutmeg
3-4 tsps. cinnamon
1 tablespoon olive oil
approx. 1/3 cup raw sugar
1 cup dried apples, chopped
approx. 2/3 cup apple or apple-fruit juice
(I used apple-blackcurrant juice with no added sugar, a little more than 2/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon apple-brandy extract
egg substitute- equivalent of 2 whole eggs (I used Egg-Like)
1) Chop dried apples. Pour boiling water over them, cover, and let soak for 30 min. Drain well.
2) (while apples are soaking) Sift flours and spices into large bowl; stir in raw vegan sugar. Pour one tablespoon of olive oil over flour mixture and mix well. When apples are ready, mix them into flour mixture.
3) Combine juice, apple-brandy extract, and egg-replacer (beaten). Add liquid to dry ingredients. Add more juice if necessary. Stir with fork..
4) Place heaped spoonfuls in 12-muffin tin, lightly sprayed with Canola Oil (or other light non-stick) cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees F., for about 15-20 min. (depending whether muffin tin is the slightly smaller or larger kind).
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Any sugar can be subsituted for another sugar. As long as it's all sugar. Powdered sugar can't be substatuted for sugar, and visaversa.
And I don't beleive that you can make these the night before. ome of the water would evaprate and The air bubles that would make this light and fluffy would escape. And the muffin might even taste undercook.
The good news is you can probubly chop and saok the apples in cool or foom tempurate water and just cover them and put them inot the fridge over night. And just premeasure the ry ingredience. Toss them into a bag and when you're ready to make the muffins just empty it into a bowl. That's what I do for my fav waffle recepy.
