Apple cranberry muffins with streusel topping

These apple cranberry muffins with streusel topping are perfectly crumbly and tart, speckled with sweet apples, explosive fresh cranberries and lip-puckering lemon zest. A sweet streusel topping of Cranberry Crunch granola, brown sugar and coconut oil (or butter) crowns the whole affair.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • lemon zest of 1
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 cup apple Honeycrisp or Cortland
  • 1 cup cranberries

For streusel topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granola
  • ½ cup coconut oil melted, or butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Chop apple.
  2. Mix dry ingredients together.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg thoroughly until airy. Add oil, applesauce and maple syrup in a steady stream, continuing to whisk throughout.
  4. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture, and add wet mixture. Stir only until combined (do not over mix).
  5. Add the apple and cranberries and fold them in gently.
  6. Oil a muffin pan very thoroughly. Fill each muffin cavity to the top.
  7. If using streusel topping, stir all the dry ingredients together. Add melted coconut oil or butter slowly, and stir to combine. Top each muffin with a tablespoon of streusel topping.
  8. Bake at 400F for 20-25 mins, until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
