How to Make Pumpkin Fruit And Nut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1/3 cup water. Microwave for 45 seconds, or until heated through. Cover and let stand while preparing the batter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup powdered milk, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1/2 cup applesauce, 1 cup pumpkin puree, and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Drain any excess liquid from the softened fruit. Add the fruit and 1/2 cup chopped cashews to the batter. Gently fold until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cool, spread a small amount of apricot preserves over the top of each muffin for a delicious glaze.
