Course Breakfast, Dessert
Servings 16 muffins

Equipment

  • 2 Muffin tins (if you only have one tin that’s ok! you will just need to do two batches).
  • Muffin tin liners
  • Small Pan
  • Whisk
  • Medium bowl
  • Large Bowl
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick 4oz unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded parsnips about 1 medium peeled parsnip
  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup toasted chopped pecans
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries*

Topping

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 large orange zested
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two muffin tins with liners (if you only have one tin that’s ok! you will just need to do two batches).
  • In a small pan over medium low heat, add butter and melt.
  • Whisk butter continuously until the butter has browned. Keep an eye on it as this can happen quick!
  • Once the butter is brown, immediately transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Add brown sugar and whisk until incorporated.
  • Add in eggs and whisk until homogenous. (work quick here as the butter may be still warm and we don’t want to cook the eggs!)
  • Whisk in applesauce, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in parsnips. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
  • Add the wet into the dry and mix until just moistened. It’s ok if there are a few clumps. Don’t over mix 🙂
  • Fold in coconut, pecans, and cranberries.
  • Fill muffin tin with batter about 2/3 of the way up.
  • Bake muffins for 20-25 minutes until muffins are puffed, golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are ok!).
  • While muffins bake, mix orange zest and sugar together in a small bowl.
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Dip the tops of the muffins in the melted butter and then into the orange sugar. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

*You can also substitute dried cranberries here if you aren’t a fan of the tartness of fresh cranberries. I like using the fresh because of the contrast they give to all the other sweet components in the muffin. But the dried would be equally as good!
