Servings6 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup hot water
Dry fruits and nuts:
- 1/4 cup tuttifrutti
- 1/8 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoon almond
- 3 tablespoon cashews
Spice mix: Use 1/2 teaspoon of this spice mix powder
- 1 3 inch cinnamon
- 5 pieces cloves
- 2 pieces cardamom
- 1/2 inch nutmeg
Instructions
- To begin with soak tutti frutti and raisins in hot water. Set aside.
- Next to prepare spice mix : take cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and nutmeg.
- Grind it as fine as possible. I used my hand mortar and pestle to do the job. Slightly coarse is ok as we are anyway going to sieve it along with flour. Set it aside.
- Next to a a sieve : add flour, baking soda and spice mix. Sieve it well.
- After that mix it well with a whisk and set aside. Flour mix ready.
- Next to another mixing bowl add sugar, salt, vinegar.
- Add freshly squeezed orange juice. You can use packed juice also however using fresh orange gives a good taste. Hence I recommend using fresh orange juice. The taste of the fruit cake muffins depends on the fruit we add.
- Add melted butter to it. After that whisk it well.
- Now add flour together with cashews and almonds chopped.
- Mix to from a batter. Do not overmix gently fold in otherwise muffins will become hard.
- Consequently, the batter will be thick. Fruit cake muffin flavor....Hmm....
- Scoop out the batter using a icecream scooper.
- After that line muffin liners to a muffin tray. Add the batter to it until 3/4th.
- I got 6 medium sized fruit cake muffins.Preheat oven at 175 deg C for 10 mins.
- Finally bake in preheated oven at 175 deg C for 20-25 mins or until a tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Eggless Christmas muffins ready!

Notes
- You can make the spice mix well ahead of time.
- Also use dry fruits of your choice.
- Instead of curd you can use milk too.
- You can increase the measure of dryfruits if you want.In total you can add upto 1 cup. I wouldn't recommend adding more.
