Directions
Pumpkin Fruit and Nut Muffins,These are a delightful moist muffin with a light apricot glaze. They are packed full of fruit and nuts but not fat.,I made three changes that may have affected the final flavor — so I am not rating –though were I to it would easily be 4 or 5 stars. First, I was pulling these together rather last minute and didn’t have cashews so used toasted pinenuts. That was great and gave you the same crunchy pockets the cashews would have delivered. I also subbed Splenda for the sugar. While that cut the calories, I think it resulted in a very dense muffin, far more dense than intended. (It also may have been that I needed to press the plumpedfruit,not simply remove it from the water with aslotted spoon.) That said,it did not stop my crew from gobbling these up as the flavor was sooo good. Finally, I added a 1/4 teaspoon of ginger. Think this gave the muffins the pop that CoolMonday was referring to. Thanks Paula!
