Ingredients

Scale

Topping:

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
½ c. chopped pecans
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Muffins:
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ c. packed brown sugar
¼ c. oil (canola or coconut )
2 large eggs
1 c. natural applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ c. lowfat buttermilk
1 apple, peeled, cored and cut into ¼-inch pieces ( I like golden delicious, Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Coat a muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup brown sugar with the pecans and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ¾ c. brown sugar and oil. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in the applesauce and vanilla.
  5. Whisk in the flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Whisk until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in the apple chunks.
  7. 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.
  8. Bake for 19 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Makes ~20 muffins.
