Pro tips:

  • When chopping the apple, keep the peel on; it adds texture, color and most importantly, fiber, to the muffins!
  • These will be very large “pop-over” style muffins, so don’t be alarmed by filling the muffin tins much higher than you are accustomed to.

Recipe: Cinnamon Apple Muffins

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20-25 minutes
Yield: 12 servings
Serving size: 1 muffin

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅓ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 sweet apple, diced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 12 muffin tins with paper liners, or spray generously with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
