Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Grated apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, honey, low-fat plain yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Gently fold in the grated apple and chopped walnuts using a spatula.
Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy Apple Walnut Muffins!
