The Recipe Instructions
 

 

Ingredients

1/2 cup apricots, finely snipped
1/3 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cardamom or ginger
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 egg


Directions

Soak the apricots in the apple juice for 10 minutes. Combine the
flour, baking powder, baking soda, spice and walnuts in a bowl. Beat
together the oil, sugar, and egg. Add the apricots, with the juice
and egg mixture to the flour.

Mix just until all the ingredients are blended. Spoon into oiled
muffin tins or (my choice) paper muffin cups (sprayed with non-stick
spray). Fill cups 3/4 full. Bake in 350 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes,
or until golden brown.

Suggestions: Use raisins to test the recipe if you do not have
apricots. Leave out walnuts to reduce the fat and use 2 egg whites
instead of the whole egg to reduce cholesterol if desired.

Servings: 8

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
