July 4th Muffins….Red, White and Blue!
I used my Fruit and Veggie Muffin recipe as a base for these muffins. Then I topped them with an almond struesel!
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
Almond Struesel
1/3 cup ground almonds
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
Directions
1. In stand mixer or mixing bowl, stir eggs, oil, applesauce, white sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, wheat flour and white flour. Mix until batter forms and is no longer lumpy. Add blueberries and raspberries.
2. Carefully fold in blueberries and raspberries with plastic spatula.
3. In small bowl, mix ground almonds, brown sugar and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter or margarine.
4. Add batter to muffin cups and top each muffin cup with 1 tsp of almond struesel.
5. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let cool on cooling rack. Serve warm with butter.
Makes 12 regular sized muffins.

I just wanted to say, I loved these muffins, but I did find, since there’s just myself and two little ones, that after the third day, due to the amount of fresh juicy fruit, they started to mould. The really should be frozen or refrigerated if they aren’t going to be eaten within a couple of days.

These sound incredible. With the fresh berries available now, might have to give these a try.
