LOW-FAT APPLE SPICE MUFFINS



Low-Fat Apple Spice Muffins image

What I like the most about these muffins is that the spices make the muffin what it is. The raw cane sugar and whole wheat pastry flour are the best to use because they are the least processed ingredients available and retain more of their natural goodness. The chunky apple bits give me more for my bite and add another level of sweetness to the muffin. These make a great breakfast or brunch item, or you can have one with a cup of coffee and unwind! Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 medium apple, peeled,cored and chopped

Steps:

  • Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Immediately remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

Tips:

- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour. - For a vegan version, use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) instead of the egg. - To make the muffins even lower in fat, use unsweetened applesauce instead of the butter. - Add a streusel topping to the muffins for a crunchy texture. To make a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped nuts, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in 1/4 cup cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter before baking. - For a healthier muffin, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - To make the muffins ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the muffins overnight in the refrigerator or microwave them on high for 30 seconds at a time until warmed through.
