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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar and egg together until well combined. Stir in the applesauce, yogurt, and vanilla extract until blended.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Enjoy your low-fat apple muffins warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
