- 8 ounces neufchatel cheese softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 bananas mashed ripe
- 1/4 cup applesauce homemade or no sugar added
- 1/2 cup carrots grated
- 1 lemon
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup hot cereal Arrowhead Mills Organic 7-Grain
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Using a handheld or standing mixer, beat neufchatel cheese, sugar, and butter on medium speed until well blended. Add banana, egg, applesauce, lemon zest and juice, and carrots. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients (except cranberries) together until combined. Add combined dry ingredients gradually to the wet ingredients and mix until moistened. Leave about 1 tbsp of the dry ingredients in the bowl to coat the cranberries. After coating the cranberries with the flour mixture, add to the batter, and fold in with a spoon until evenly distributed. Pour batter into greased and floured, or paper cup-lined muffin tray.
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from muffin tray. Cool completely on wire rack. Serve and enjoy! Make 12 "puffy" muffins, or up to 18 normal-sized muffins.
