Apple Cider Mixed Berry Muffins
Recipe from California Giant Berry Farms
California farmers use efficient irrigation practices that help stretch water supplies, especially during a drought. World-class conservation means you can be proud of local farm products when you “Keep the State on Your Plate!”
Ingredients:
For the Muffins
- 1 cup apple sauce
- 1 cup brown or coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup olive oil or canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon clove powder
- 1½ cup mixed California Giant strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries
- Pinch of sea salt
For the Streusel Topping
- ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Dash of allspice
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, rubbed
Directions:
- Start by preheating the oven to 350F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple sauce, sugar, oil, and eggs.
- In another bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together - the flour, baking soda, powder, spices and sea salt.
- Now pour 1/3 of the flour mixture into the wet batter - repeat until both mixtures have combined.
- Gently fold in the berries - careful not to break them. Evenly pour the batter into lined muffin tins.
- In a small bowl, combine the streusel topping ingredients, and use your fingers to mix it all together creating a crumble like texture.
- Evenly sprinkle on top of each muffin.
- Pop the muffins into the oven and cook for 20-24 minutes or until the center is fully cooked.
