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
• 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.
