Okay, Diana get’s total food storage brownie points. Not only does this recipe use great food storage ingredients, it was also baked in the Sun Oven! Diana got this recipe from http://sunoven.com where they have a lot of great Sun Oven Recipes for you to try.
Sun Oven Applesauce Muffins/Cupcakes
Ingredients
Topping:
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Muffins:
2 cups all-purpose flour (whole wheat would work great as well!)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, at room temperature (1 T. dry egg powder with 2 T. water)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (1/2 cup white sugar with 1/2 TBS
molasses mixed in)
1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce (made from my food storage
dehydrated apples then blended in blender)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup milk (1 1/2 TBS powdered milk plus 1/4 cup water)
Equipment
Two muffin pans with six indentations each with cooking spray,
silicone muffin molds and a baking pan, or a combination.
Preparation
Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Spray muffin tins or molds with
cooking spray.
Topping:
Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in butter until
blended.
Muffins:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking
powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Set
aside.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and the egg
until thick and pale brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the applesauce,
melted butter, and milk, until blended. Use a wooden spoon to stir
the flour mixture into the liquid ingredients until moistened.
Fill the prepared tins three-quarters full. Sprinkle topping over
each muffin. Bake in Sun Oven until muffins are lightly browned,
about 40 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of one muffin
should come out with a crumb or two attached.
Makes 12 to 18 muffins.
What perfect timing! I updated my food storage inventory this weekend and found two large jars of prepared applesauce that needs to be rotated out. Everyone will find these cupcakes in their “goodie” boxes for Christmas.
Is the cooking time the same in a household oven?
