Low Fat Apple Maple Muffins image

I made these this morning based on Dancer's Dried Cherry Muffin recipe (36519), and they turned out moist and delicious! They're just sweet enough, and the whole wheat flour gives them a nice texture. Leave the peels on the apples for fiber; the baking makes them soft anyhow.

Time 30m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup light maple syrup
3 egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
1 1/2 cups apples, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients (flour through sugar); mix well.
  • Make a well in the center and add the egg whites, applesauce, vanilla, and buttermilk. Mix gently.
  • Fold in the apples and mix just until all ingredients are combined.
  • Pour batter into lightly greased muffin tins.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
  • While muffins are baking combine the remaining cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle over muffins as soon as they come out of the oven; the moisture of the muffins will hold just enough sugar in place.
  • Enjoy!
