Healthy Apple Muffins Recipes

APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 12-capacity standard muffin pan with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, mix together the pecans, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and the cinnamon.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and the oil until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in the applesauce and vanilla.
• Whisk in the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Whisk just until combined. Gently stir in the apple chunks.
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan and sprinkle with the pecan mixture. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center of one of the muffins comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the muffins to loosen them and unmold. Cool completely on the rack.

OATY HEALTHY APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Put 2 of the chopped apples in a pan with 50ml water. Simmer over a low heat, covered, for 10-12 mins, until the apples are softened and collapsing. Set aside to cool a little, then tip into a small food processor and whizz to a purée.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a muffin tray with 12 paper cases.
• In a bowl whisk the oil, eggs, yogurt, sugar and apple purée. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 70g of the oats, baking powder, bicarb, mixed spice, cinnamon and ¼ tsp salt. Make a well in the centre, then stir in the wet ingredients until you have a smooth batter, stir in the remaining chopped apple, then divide into the 12 cases. Sprinkle each one with the remaining oats. Bake for 25-30 mins until firm and springy. Leave to cool before serving.

LOW-FAT APPLE SPICE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
• Whisk the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Use your fingers to make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites, skim milk, yogurt, raw sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract until smooth; mix in the chopped apple.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients, and mix to make a thick batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
• Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cool the muffins in their cups for about 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

SUPER HEALTHY APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• To grate apples I use my food processor, but you can use a hand grater if you want. I also usually send the dates through with the apples in the processor.
• Then chop up your 1/2 cup of apples, nuts, and dates (if not thrown in processor with apples). The apples and nuts add to the texture and the dates make it a little sweeter.
• Combine all items from the Dry list. Then all from the Wet list.
• Slowly add Dry to wet and mix until combined well.
• Pour batter in sprayed muffin tin (or use papers if you like) and place in 350°F oven about 12-15 minutes. Remove and place on cooling rack.
