Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup mild tasting oil (I used avocado oil)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or spelt flour)
  • 2 cups (2 large) Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala apples (coarsely grated)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (coarsely chopped)
  • Coarse white sugar (for topping (optional))
  • Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line muffin tin with parchment paper liners and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well to combine, making sure baking powder and soda are dissolved. Add flour and stir gently to mix. Do not over mix.
  • Add grated apples and walnuts, give a few stirs just until combined.
  • Using large ice cream scoop, fill 12 tin openings with batter. They will be very full. Bake for 23 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven, let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool more, or enjoy warm.
