This is yet another muffin recipe from me. I know I am giving you an over dose of muffins. S even joked that I should be called as Miss Muffin. At first, I thought of not posting the recipe. But then these muffins were so tasty that I thought it would be a shame if I did not share the recipe with you.
I had some oranges in the fridge and there was some apricots. I decided to put them together and bake these muffins. The apricots gave a moist richness to the otherwise regular orange muffins . Apart from these already healthy ingredients, there is also oats and corn meal which give these muffins a healthy boost. mmmmm too good!!! Shall we move on to the recipe??
Apricot Orange muffins recipe:
Preparation time: 20min
Baking time: 20min
Makes- 10 muffins
Ingredients:
Freshly squeezed orange juice- 1 cup
Chopped Apricots- 1/2 cup
Raisins or currants- 1/2 cup
All purpose flour or maida- 1 cup
Oats- 1/2 cup
Corn meal- 1/2 cup
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Butter- 2 tbsp
Baking powder- 2 tsp
Baking soda- 1 tsp
Nutmeg Powder- A pinch
Vanilla essence- 1 tsp
Thick butter milk- 1/2 cup
Method:
- Sift the all purpose flour along with the baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg
- Add the corn meal, and oats to the flour mixture and mix well
- In a separate bowl, mix the butter, butter milk, sugar and vanilla essence and beat well
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix till the ingredients are well combined
- Fold in the chopped apricot and raisins and mix gently.
- Fill the batter in greased muffin cups till 3/4th full and bake in preheated oven at 180C for 20 to 25 min or till the muffins are brown and firm to touch.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin cups for 5min before cooling them on the wire rack.
Note: The muffins turned out a little crumbly in texture because of the corn meal. Feel free to substitute the corn meal with APF if you want the muffins to be soft.
I have used 1/2 cup sugar because I felt that muffins would become too sweet along with the apricots and currants. You can increase the sugar by 1/4 cup if you want the muffins to be sweeter.
