Use your imagination and whatever's on hand to vary this recipe: Dried fruit may be raisins, craisins, dates, apricots, apples, etc. Sweetness may come from honey, sorghum, molasses, apricot preserves, ginger preserves or orange marmalade. Buttermilk, yogurt, or sour cream may replace the sour milk. Nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger may be used in place of ginger. Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried apricot |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1 cup grape-nuts cereal |
3 tablespoons coconut oil |
1/4 cup honey |
1/2 cup sour milk |
1 large egg |
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Chop apricots. In a bowl, stir together apricots and orange juice. Allow to soak, stirring occasionally for at least 10 minutes before using.
3. Saute the Grape Nuts in the coconut oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, for five minutes. Remove from heat and add the honey and mix well.
4. Beat together the milk and egg until uniform. Add the Grape Nuts.
5. Sift together the dry ingredients. Make a well in their center and add the grape nuts and fruit mixtures and stir briefly.
6. Fill your greased muffin cups 2/3 full and bake 15-25 minutes.
