A naturally flavored muffin packed with fresh and dried fruits, nuts and whole wheat bread. A wonderful addition to the brunch table.  Your guests will not believe that there is no additional sugar in the batter!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices of whole wheat or whole grain bread, toasted, ripped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 large banana, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces 
  • 1 large sweet apple, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces 
  • zest from one orange
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup either golden raisons or dried cranberries (a mix of the 2 is fine)
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 TBSP maple syrup (use real maple syrup – pancake syrup will not taste the same)
  • Canola oil spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Position oven rack to middle of oven.
  • Lightly spray 12 cup muffin tin with the Canola oil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the bread, fruits, nuts, cinnamon, zest and salt.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and maple syrup. 
  • Pour the egg batter over bread blend and mix gently but thoroughly.
  • Let this combination sit for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. (This step is important as the bread blend needs to absorb the egg batter)
  • After 30 minutes, divide the batter evenly in the muffin pan.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffins comes out clean.
  • After removing from the oven, let sit in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then remove from the pan.  Serve warm.
