Feast your eyes on this mouth-watering image of our Thanksgiving Muffins!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (because who doesn’t love a little spice?)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup milk (or a splash more if you’re feeling adventurous)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped pecans (optional, but like your Aunt Linda, they make everything better)
- 1 cup dried cranberries (because we’re fancy like that)
Instructions:
- First things first: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t rush this part; no one likes a cold muffin!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Just imagine you’re an artist, and the bowl is your canvas!
- In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until they are as blended as your family stories at Thanksgiving dinner.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s fine; they don’t have to be best friends yet. Remember, we’re making muffins, not a smoothie!
- Fold in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries. They’re the quirky cousins of our muffin mix!
- Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper liners, filling each cup about two-thirds full. No overachievers here, please; we want muffins, not cupcakes!
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set a timer; we can’t afford to lose track of time when muffins are on the line!
- Once baked, let them cool for a few moments before indulging. You’ve earned it!
And there you have it, folks! Delicious Thanksgiving Muffins that are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or just because you can. Bake a batch, share (or don’t), and enjoy every crumb of this delightful treat!
