Raspberry Almond Muffins
Ingredients
- 170 g Tree Top 1/4″ Raspberry Fruit Sensations®
- 71 g Tree Top Apple Sauce
- 85 g chopped almonds
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 g cinnamon
- 284 g all-purpose flour
- 198 g granulated sugar
- 7 g salt
- 113 g unsalted butter, soft
- 7 g baking powder
- 4 g baking soda
- 135 g sour cream
- 50 g egg
- 11 g vanilla extract
- 4 g almond extract
- 4 g natural mixed berry flavor
Directions
Process the nuts with brown sugar and cinnamon until coarsely ground. Remove from food processor and set aside in a small bowl.
In the bowl of the now empty food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and process until butter is in small pieces. Remove 1/2 cup of this mixture and stir it into the bowl with the nuts. Add the baking powder and baking soda to the remaining flour mixture in the food processor and pulse until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, applesauce, egg, extracts and berry flavor. Add this mixture to the flour in the food processor and pulse until mostly moist all the way through. Add in 3/4 cup of the nut mixture and Fruit Sensations®. Pulse until just combined.
Scoop into prepared muffin tins and top each muffin with remaining nut mixture. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of muffins comes out clean.
