Pouding Chômeur (Poor Man's Pudding) Bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Applesauce
• 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
3. 3In a separate small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of applesauce, and 1/2 cup of milk.
4. 4Pour the wet ingredients from the small bowl into the medium bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Do not overmix.
5. 5In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 cup of water. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the 1 cup of brown sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
6. 6Spoon the batter into each cup of the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
7. 7Carefully pour about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the hot brown sugar syrup over the batter in each mini muffin cup.
8. 8Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The puddings are done when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a pudding comes out clean.
9. 9Allow the Pouding Chômeur bites to cool in the mini muffin tin for about 5 to 10 minutes before carefully removing them to serve warm.
