Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup non-fat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated apple
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar and egg together until well combined. Stir in the applesauce, yogurt, and vanilla extract until blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Peel and core a medium-sized apple. Grate it and mix immediately with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Fold the grated apple into the muffin batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat apple muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
