Low fat apple and cinnamon muffins

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:

1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 tsp cinnamon
5g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 egg
50g
1 apple
160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until thoroughly combined.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Apple:
- Peel the apple, remove the core, and finely chop it into small pieces. Gently fold the apple pieces into the muffin batter.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
7. Bake:
- 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.
8. Cool:
- 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!
