Dried fruit and granola muffins with a honey-yogurt glaze

These muffins are juicy and just a tad sweet, bursting with healthy cinnamon raision granola and assorted dried fruit. They are virtually fat-free, with applesauce used instead of oil or butter. But they become something much more decadent once you drizzle on that optional-but-recommended honey-yogurt glaze.

  • dry:
  • 1.5 cups 187 grams whole wheat flour

  • FILLING:

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat an oven to 350F.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients separately in a large bowl. Add dry ingredients to wet. Add granola and dry fruit mixture, and stir just enough to combine.
  3. Oil muffin form and bake muffins for 30 minutes, until a knife inserted in the middle comes out dry. Serve with a pat of butter or coconut oil.
  4. Optional: if making honey-yogurt glaze, cream together ¼ cup of Earth Balance with ⅛ cup of honey and ⅛ cup of yogurt. Gradually whisk in 1-1.5 cups of powdered sugar, until glaze stiffens and peaks are formed. Top each muffins with honey-yogurt glaze and more granola.
