Healthy Low-Fat Apple Spice Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 large egg whites
• 0.67 cup skim milk
• 0.67 cup nonfat plain yogurt
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped peeled apple

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger until well combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, skim milk, yogurt, raw sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped apple.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined to form a thick batter.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the muffins are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
7. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
