Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins plain or with a light spread of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
