So it would seem that I have a large bag of whole wheat flour in my kitchen that I have never used. Why I bought it? I don’t know, maybe because I wanted to be healthy at one point. I’m going to try again. By making some muffins. But hey, they have apples in them too.
Also I just really wanted to use those really cute muffin cups with gingerbread men and Christmas trees. I know, Christmas is over, but who can resist novelty muffin cups?
*Makes 18 muffins
What you’ll need:
-2 cups whole wheat flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-1/4 cup salted butter, melted
-1/2 cup white sugar
-1/4 cup packed brown sugar
-2 large eggs
-1 cup plain whole fat yogurt
-2 large apples, peeled and shredded
-coarse sugar to top
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425˚F
2. Line a muffin pan with baking cups.
3. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl, and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the yogurt, and mix until fully combined. Stir in the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in the apple chunks.
5. Divide the batter into the muffin cups, sprinkling brown sugar on top. Bake for 5 minutes, turn the heat down to 350°F then bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
