These Healthy Fruit Cake Muffins are perfect for Veganuary, packed with wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, dried fruits, and nuts. They are moist, flavorful, and make a satisfying treat for breakfast or snack time.
Ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat flour. 1/2 cup coconut sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. 1/4 cup almond milk. 1/4 cup melted coconut oil. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1 cup mixed dried fruits raisins, cranberries, chopped dates. 1/2 cup chopped nuts walnuts, almonds, pecans.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C and grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the dried fruits and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
