Preparation of Dried Fruit Cupcakes:

If you like to prepare different types of Cupcakes, in this recipe we show you how to make delicious Cupcakes with nuts in very few steps, a way to make Cupcakes different from the most typical, since these mix the most common sweet flavor with the touch of nuts.

If there is a recipe for Cupcakes different from the usual ones and that we like to prepare at home, it is without a doubt these Cupcakes with dried fruits. It is a very rich recipe, with fewer calories than one with a traditional frosting, and which also has all the flavor that the dried fruits provide. We can also combine all kinds of nuts, according to our tastes. We are going to detail our recipe, but if instead of walnuts and raisins you want to try other nuts, it will surely be very delicious too. We begin to show you the preparation process as we prepare it.

We start by putting the walnuts in a mortar and crushing them into small pieces. We remove them from the mortar and reserve them for later. Next we are going to put the yogurt, sugar and sunflower oil in a bowl using the yogurt glass as a measure. Now we are going to use some electric rods to mix all these ingredients, you can also do it by hand but it will cost you more work and the result may not be as homogeneous. Then we will add the eggs to the mixture, without stopping to beat, the sifted flour, also using the glass as a measure, and finally the yeast. We continue beating with the rods until we obtain a creamy mass where no lumps can be seen.

Once we get that the dough is well mixed, we are going to add the raisins, the crushed nuts and a touch of ground cinnamon. We will remove with a large spoon gently, since we do not want to crush the nuts, simply distribute them throughout the dough of the Cupcakes. We have to preheat the oven to 180ºC (356ºF) before putting them in, so while we can prepare the tray in which we will bake our cakes. We place the paper capsules in which we will pour the resulting dough, which will be the base of our Cupcakes.
