Ingredients
Scale
- 250 grams 0% plain Greek yogurt
- 115 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 60 milliliters milk or buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 210 grams brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 325 grams whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 315 grams Granny Smith or baking apples
Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 175°C.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, applesauce, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Incorporate baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into the wet mixture, whisking until fully combined.
- Gently fold in whole wheat flour and chopped apples with a spatula just until all flour is moistened; avoid overmixing.
- Lightly grease a non-stick muffin tin or line with paper liners, then fill each cup to the brim with batter.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean or with moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Using a combination of Greek yogurt and applesauce makes the muffins moist without the need for extra fat.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- These muffins can be served warm or at room temperature.
