Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In another medium bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat plain yogurt, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of each muffin for added sweetness and a touch of crunch.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low fat cinnamon muffins as a delicious and healthy treat!
