I recently went apple picking and was so overexcited about picking that I ended up with 18 pounds of apples. That’s a lot of pie! To try something different, I made these muffins. The recipe is slightly modified from the South Beach Diet Cookbook. They aren’t overly sweet, so I like to toast them up and add some margarine.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar substitute (i use granulated splenda)
1 egg, beaten
1 medium apple, peeled and diced
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
3. In a larger bowl, combine buttermilk, oil, brown sugar, sugar substitute and egg. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t over-mix! Stir in apples and walnuts.
4. Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Bake 12-15 minutes.
