Tips:

  • Flax eggs: To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, until it becomes gel-like. This is a great egg substitute for those with egg allergies or following a vegan diet.
  • Unsweetened applesauce: Applesauce adds moisture and sweetness to the muffins without adding refined sugar. You can use store-bought unsweetened applesauce or make your own by cooking apples with a little bit of water until they are soft and then pureeing them.
  • Whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour is a good source of fiber and nutrients. It can be used in place of all-purpose flour in most recipes.
  • Chopped walnuts: Walnuts add a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the muffins. You can also use other nuts, such as pecans or almonds.
  • Mixing the batter: Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking the muffins: Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
