½ cup Cream
½ cup Roasted Walnuts
½ cup Candied Ginger

¼ cup Powdered Sugar

step-by-step

instructions

1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 375°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots, then grate on the large side of a box grater to get 1/2 cup (you will have extra). Grate the apple on the large side of a box grater, discarding the core. Roughly chop the walnuts. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, biscuit mix, baking powder, warming spices, and a pinch of salt.

2 Make the batter

Working in 30 second increments, melt half the butter in a large bowl in the microwave (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a large bowl). Add the cream (shaking the packet before opening), sour cream, egg, and granulated sugar; whisk to thoroughly combine. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients; using a spatula, gently mix until only no white streaks remain. Gently fold in the candied ginger, grated carrots, grated apple, and chopped walnuts until thoroughly combined.

3 Bake the muffins

Lightly grease 9 rounds of a cupcake tin, or line with cupcake liners. (If you don’t have a cupcake tin, lightly grease a loaf pan.) Transfer the batter to the prepared tins (or loaf pan). Bake 16 to 20 minutes, or until the batter is cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. (For a loaf pan, bake 40 to 42 minutes, covering with foil halfway through, or until cooked through.) Remove from the oven. Let cool to room temperature.

4 Make the glaze & serve your dish

While the muffins cool, melt the remaining butter in a medium bowl in the microwave (or melt in a small pot on the stove, then transfer to a medium bowl). Add the maple syrup and powdered sugar; whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined. Serve the baked muffins drizzled with the glaze. Enjoy!
