Sugar Free Fruit Sweet Peach Oat Bran Muffins
Ingredients
3/4 C. pecans
1/2 C. date pieces
2-1/2 C. chopped peaches
1/2 C. fruit sweetener
2 eggs
1/2 C. oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. peach extract
1-1/4 C. unsweetened applesauce
1 C. oat bran
3/4 C. rolled oats
2-1/8 C. brown rice flour
1/3 C. oat flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly spray a regular size muffin tin with lecithin spray. Toast pecans in oven for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow nuts to cool. Then coarsely chop them with a knife or with a pulsing action in a food processor. Coarsely chop peaches. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together fruit sweetener, eggs, oil, vanilla, peach extract, and applesauce. Stir in oat bran and rolled oats. Let this mixture sit for a minimum of 10 minutes while preparing the remaining ingredients. Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl; stir in pecans and date pieces. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; stir in the wet mix. When half mixed, stir in chopped peaches, being careful not to over mix; the muffin batter should be lumpy. Use a #12 (1/2 C.) scoop to place batter into prepared muffin tins. Bake muffins in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Let muffins cool in muffin pans before removing them (very fragile when warm).
