Apple and Molasses Muffins
Apple and Molasses Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups (265 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup (160 g) brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) canola oil
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) molasses
- 1 1/2 cups (105 g) All-Bran cereal
- 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper or silicone liners.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, milk, oil and molasses. Add the cereal and let soak for 5 minutes. Add the dry ingredients all at once and stir with a spatula, just enough to moisten the flour. Stir in the apples.
- Using a 1/3-cup (75 ml) ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
