Special Recipe about Muffin Recipes by Linda Carol Wilson

Apple Allspice Muffins are a great way to enjoy the abundance of apples at farmer’s markets and in the grocery stores in the fall.

APPLE-ALLSPICE MUFFINS

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Splenda brown sugar blend, divided

1 egg

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground allspice

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup fat-free milk

1 cup peeled, finely chopped apple

Non-stick vegetable oil spray

1/2 tsp ground allspice

In a medium mixing bowl, cream 1/4 cup butter; gradually add 1/4 cup + 1 tsp of the Splenda brown sugar blend, beating at medium speed of electric mixer until mixture is light and fluffy. Add egg and mix well.

Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture alternating with milk. Stir just until moistened. Gently stir in chopped apple. Spray 12 muffin cups with vegetable oil spray. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds fulls.

Combine remaining Splenda blend, flour, and allspice in a small mixing bowl. Cut in the remaining two tablespoons of butter, using a pastry blender or two knives, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the tops of the muffin batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

OATMEAL & PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Note: Eating 1 of these nutritional muffins will provide 1 of your 3 recommended daily servings of whole grains. Whole grains and fiber are important to the diabetics diet.

2 cups + 2 tbsp old-fashioned oats

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 cup Equal Sugar-Lite

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 cup canned pumpkin

3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk

1/2 cup egg substitute

2 tbsp canola oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees & lightly coat 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray or paper muffin cups and set aside.

Place 2 cups of the oats in a food processor; cover and process until fine. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in flour, Equal, pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cloves. Make a well in the center of the mixture and set aside.

Using a wire whisk, whisk together pumpkin, buttermilk, egg substitute and oil in a medium mixing bowl. Add mixture all at once into the well of the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened as you want the batter to be thick and lumpy. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3s full. Sprinkle the remaining oats on the tops of muffin batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing from cups.

Fried Chicken Recipe

Executive Summary about Fried Chicken Recipe by Chadwick Sanders

fried chicken recipes

Today, I wanted to share with you some history on fried chicken and also provide you with some really good fried chicken recipes. First, let’s discuss some of the history behind fried chicken…

“Fried chicken has a dual origin in the rural American South. The Scots had a tradition of deep frying chicken in fat, unlike their English counterparts who baked or boiled chicken. Since slaves were often allowed to keep only chickens, frying chicken as a special occasion spread through the African American community. Southern whites also continued the tradition of frying chicken. I say this because the recipe is an oven fried chicken recipe. We will be sharing traditional fried chicken recipes below this one.

Oven Fried Chicken

2 1/2 – 3 lbs. chicken pieces 2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1 cup flour 2 tsp. paprika 1/2 cup oil or crisco melted

Coat chicken with combined flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Dip in oil and place skin side down in pan. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes and turn chicken and bake 30 minutes or until done.

Obviously, this is not how we usually do it down here, but it’s a good recipe that I wanted to share with you. Now for the good stuff! Next, I want to share with you a good southern fried chicken recipe.

Simple Southern Fried Chicken

1 frying chicken, skin removed if you want lower fat. I leave the skin on. 3 teaspoons Lawry’s Seasoned Salt 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup vegetable oil

1. Season chicken with all seasonings.

2. Roll chicken in flour until covered. Shake off excess flour. Sprinkle additional seasoning.

3. Simply fry chicken in frying pan until golden brown. I like it crispy so I cook it a little longer than most.

You can start out with the oil very hot and then reduce it later. This seals in the moisture and flavor, then cooks it.

My hope is that you enjoy these fried chicken recipes. We will be providing more great recipes and resources so be sure to check with us real soon! In the meantime, I encourage you to check out the following resource. You’ll be glad you did!
