Low fat apple and cinnamon muffins are a delicious and healthy treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. This recipe uses lower fat ingredients and fresh apple to create moist, flavorful muffins that you can enjoy without the guilt. Follow these simple steps to whip up a batch in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
- Peel the apple, remove the core, and finely chop it into small pieces. Gently fold the apple pieces into the muffin batter.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Make sure to mix the dry ingredients separately from the wet ingredients before combining them to ensure even distribution.
- Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy. Overmixing can result in dense and tough muffins.
- Use a non-stick muffin tray or line with paper muffin cases to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
- Chop the apple into small, evenly-sized pieces so they distribute well throughout the muffins.
- If you prefer a slightly different flavor, try substituting the brown sugar for coconut sugar or adding a pinch of nutmeg.
These low fat apple and cinnamon muffins are not only easy to make but also a healthier alternative to traditional muffins. Enjoy them warm out of the oven or store them for a quick on-the-go snack. Happy baking!
