Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, combine the finely chopped apples, nonfat milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Gently fold in the beaten egg. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 20 minutes. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For an extra nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
Feel free to experiment with other fruit additions, such as blueberries, cranberries, or chopped pears.
