Happy Valentine's Day! I went shopping at Value Village the other day and found a heart shaped muffin tin. Only set me back $4. Was feeling festive and domestic so I made muffin hearts for the roomies. Found this recipe on Taste Spotting. It is AMAZING. I was afraid I over baked them but the shredded apples and carrots kept them super moist. The crumbly topping is like icing on the cake. AWESOME RECIPE.
3/4 cup sifted whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 tablespoons mac nut oil (or canola, olive)
1/2 cup grated carrots (one medium carrot)
1/2 cup grated apples with skins (one medium apple)
3 tablespoons cranberries (or raisins)
Topping
2 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
3 tablespoons rolled oats (quick cooking or regular)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Makes 6 muffins
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease muffin tin or line with muffin papers.
Combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated carrots, apples and berries.
For the topping, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub the butter and the other ingredients together until you get a crumbly mixture.
Fill the muffin batter into the muffin tin. Top each one with a tablespoon of the topping mixture. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
