Not too long ago I made an apple streusel muffin that was very good. Well. . .I came across this recipe and decided to try it since I needed more homemade breakfast goods on the kitchen counter. Let’s just say the first apple muffins are now complete history. I believe, yes, I believe my husband ate 3 out of the dozen the first day. These are so moist and satisfying and for being low-cal I fell in love!
Your supplies:
3/4 c plus 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1/4 c chopped pecans
1/2 tsp ground cinammon
1 c each flour and wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c canola oil
2 large eggs
1 c natural applesauce (= 2 small individually packed applesauces)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c lowfat buttermilk
1 golden delicious apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
1. Preheat oven to 400 and prep your muffin pan. In a small bowl mix the 2 tbsp of brown sugar and pecans. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl mix together flours, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl mix remaining 3/4 c sugar and oil until combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each. Then add applesauce and vanilla. Whisk in flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with buttermilk. Gently stir in apple.
4. Fill your muffin pan and sprinkle with sugar/pecan topping. Tap the pan to remove any air bubbles (did not know this previously!). Bake for 20 mins and let cool on wire rack for 15. Enjoy!
sorry about the flash - took this with my phone :-p
