In less than 45 minutes, you can have a dozen hot and flavorful muffins on the table. They're very easy to double, so make an extra batch for company! Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 cup fat-free milk |
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped |
2-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel |
streusel topping: |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 tablespoons cold butter |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg. Beat in the milk, applesauce and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and orange peel.
2. Coat muffin cups with cooking spray; fill three-fourths full with batter. For topping, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
3. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 dozen.
