Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat baking mix (such as Bisquick Light or homemade mix)
- 0.25 cups sugar
- 0.75 cups low-fat milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups fresh or frozen berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat baking mix and sugar. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
If using, gently fold in the fresh or frozen berries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
