- 3. Sift flours, baking soda, baking pwdr and salt into a large bowl.
- 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together Baking Blend, canola oil, apple sauce, sugar, lemon rind, and lemon juice. Make a well in the middle of the flour mix and add in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix lightly with a wire whisk, just to blend. Do not over mix, batter will be tough. Mix in cranberries.
- 5. Fill muffin tins 2/3 c. full. Sprinkle with topping. Bake for about 20 min or possibly till the tops of the muffins are golden brown and spring back to the touch or possibly a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cold the muffins in the pan for about 5 min, then use a fork to gently lift them out of the pan.
- Akasha's notes: "This is a great muffin, especially when cranberries are in season. I usually keep some cranberries in the freezer after the season is over just for emergencies. These muffins are also great with any type of seasonal fresh fruit: minced apples, fresh blueberries or possibly mangoes, peaches, plums or possibly apricots."
