NO-FAT BANANA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS



No-Fat Banana Applesauce Muffins image

I got this recipe out of a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and it is one of my stand-by recipes when I am watching my calories and fat. Since I am doing just that right now, thought I would put it on the zaar for easy access and hopefully someone else likes this recipe as good as I do. (I prefer to sub 3/4 of the white flour for whole wheat and use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. I think fresh nutmeg is the key in this!)

APPLESAUCE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS



Applesauce Raisin Bran Muffins image

I checked and while I found many bran muffin recipes here, none were quite like this. I like this one not only because it is lower fat, but because it doesn't have as much added sugar, and it relies on the cereal more than the flour to make the batter. The muffins themselves are surprisingly moist and light in texture. I like the light sweetness of these and the crunchy muffin tops. (If you sprinkle a little extra cereal on top, they get an even better crunch, and improved appearance.) I found this recipe at www.mealsmatter.org. Watch these since the recipe stated they should bake in 20 minutes, but I found mine were done after about 15.

BLUEBERRY OATMEAL APPLESAUCE MUFFINS



Blueberry Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins image

These muffins are not only delicious, but very low in fat and heart-healthy. The oats and flaxseed meal add fiber and whole grains for a filling and delicious breakfast or snack, while the applesauce takes the place of egg, butter, or cream that you might find in other muffin recipes. You can make this recipe vegan by omitting the egg and using soymilk as a substitute for milk (I use Lactaid milk to make it dairy-free). To make it sugar-free, substituting Splenda for the small amount of sugar is just as good! A pecan half on top of the muffin adds a visually-appetizing touch while adding a slight crunch to a moist and filling muffin!

Valuable Tips When Making Applesauce Muffins

If you are looking for a healthy and delicious snack, applesauce muffins are a great option! Here are some tips to ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly:
1. Use Unsweetened Applesauce
When making applesauce muffins, it is important to use unsweetened applesauce to avoid adding unnecessary sugar to your recipe. The sweetness in the muffins will come from other ingredients like honey, maple syrup or dates.
2. Substitute Flour with Whole Grain Flour
Using whole grain flour instead of all-purpose flour can make your muffins healthier and more nutritious. Whole grain flour contains more fiber and nutrients than all-purpose flour, making it a better choice for your muffins.
3. Add Flavor with Spices
Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add warmth and flavor to your applesauce muffins. These spices are also known to have various health benefits, making them a great addition to your muffin recipe.
4. Choose Nutritious Mix-Ins
Adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, raisins, or dried fruit can make your muffins more nutritious and flavorful. These mix-ins provide additional fiber and essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
5. Use a Healthy Fat
When making muffins, it is important to use a healthy fat like coconut oil, avocado oil, or olive oil. These fats contain healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that can help improve heart health.
6. Use Natural Sweeteners
Using natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or dates is a healthier and more nutritious option than using refined sugar. Natural sweeteners provide the sweetness needed in your muffins while also offering additional nutritional benefits.
7. Make Your Muffins Gluten-Free
If you have a gluten intolerance or allergy, you can still enjoy delicious applesauce muffins by making them gluten-free. Substitute regular flour with almond flour, coconut flour or a gluten-free flour blend to make your muffins safe and enjoyable.
8. Don't Overmix the Batter
When making muffins, it is important not to overmix the batter as it can make them tough and dense. Mix the batter just enough to combine all the ingredients and stop as soon as there are no more dry spots.
9. Use a Muffin Liner
Using a muffin liner can make your muffins easier to remove from the pan and also prevent them from sticking. You can use a paper or silicone liner depending on your preference.
10. Let the Muffins Cool Before Serving
Allowing your muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving ensures that they are easier to handle and also taste better. The cooling process allows the flavors to meld together and the texture to set, resulting in delicious and tasty muffins.

Conclusion

In summary, making applesauce muffins is an easy and healthy way to enjoy a delicious snack. By following these valuable tips and using nutritious and flavorful ingredients, you can create muffins that are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients.
