OMG muffins as in oh-my-god, what was I thinking. They are kind of custard-y because I didn't put enough flour in them even though the batter appeared too moist. Oh, well...I'll eat them anyway and enjoy them because they taste good by my standards but not likely by anyone else's! My husband says that I make the house smell good but he won't eat the muffins because he says I don't make them sweet enough. This is true - they are not sweet enough for his taste buds! I tell him to put some jam on them for sweetness. I put either applesauce, all-fruit spread or honey. A little bit of nut butter makes for a rich taste and increases the nutrient value.
Here's everything that went into the muffins (but this doesn't constitute a recipe):
1 3/4 quart old fashioned oatmeal (processed into a coarse meal), 1-25 ounce jar Eden unsweetened applesauce, fresh zest of 3 oranges, 1 T vanilla extract, powdered cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon (didn't measure these three), 1 T powdered ginger, almond milk made from 1 3/4 cups medjool dates and 2 cups raw almonds and water, 1 1/2 bags frozen, partially thawed cranberries, 1 quart frozen, mostly thawed pumpkin.
Since the cranberries were partially frozen, they probably contributed extra liquid to the batter (when it already had an excess!) Also, the juice from the cranberries caused the edges of some of the muffins to stick and char. That's OK because even the charred ones taste good to me!
