~ Cranberry Apple Walnut Muffins ~
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup unbleached white flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 T baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 t sea salt
1 t ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
1 t orange zest
12 dates, pitted and chopped
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 ripe bananas
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup canola oil
1 t vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 cups grated apple
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly oil muffin tins or line with paper muffin liners.
Put flours, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt,
cinnamon and cloves in a large mixing bowl; stir and set
aside. Place dates and hot water in blender or food
processor and blend until smooth. Add juice, yogurt,
bananas, syrup, oil and vanilla extract; blend again.
Add eggs and cranberries and pulse for a few seconds,
just long enough to break up cranberries. Add wet
ingredients to dry mixture. Fold in grated apple and
walnuts and gently mix together using a minimum number
of strokes. Fill muffin cups to top with batter. Bake
for 25 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in
the center comes out clean.
Makes 18 muffins
