Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 2
Add warm water and unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle raisins over the surface. Fold the dough and knead gently to distribute raisins evenly.
Step 5
Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Sprinkle a baking sheet with some cornmeal. After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Step 7
Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out circles from the dough. Gather the scraps, reroll, and cut out more circles until all dough is used.
Step 8
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with more cornmeal. Cover them with a cloth and allow to rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Step 9
Preheat a griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 10
Carefully transfer the muffins onto the griddle. Cook for 7-10 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Cool on a wire rack before splitting open with a fork.
Step 12
Enjoy your sugar-free cinnamon raisin English muffins warm or toasted!
