Apple Walnut Muffins Low Fat & Low Sugar Version image

All the glory of muffins, using apple butter for part of the fat and replacing the white sugar with Splenda granular. Another Graham Kerr speciality. (I've also posted recipe #204126 which he used in this recipe.)

Provided by SusieQusie

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup rolled oats, not quick cooking
1/3 cup Splenda granular
3 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
1 egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons apple butter (see Sugar Free Crock Pot Apple Butter)
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 cup cooking apple, grated, unpeeled (Rome, Jonagold, Granny Smith)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon rolled oats

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease 12 muffin tin cups or line with cupcake papers.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder & soda, salt, cinnamon, oats, Splenda and walnuts.
  • Thoroughly mix the egg, buttermilk, apple butter, oil & grated apple. Pour into dry ingredients and stir gently just till mixed. A few lumps are OK; overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Combine topping ingredients & scatter over muffin tops.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (They don't rise very much; that's okay.).

APPLE & CINNAMON MUFFINS WITH A COCONUT WALNUT STREUSEL RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Apple & Cinnamon Muffins with a Coconut Walnut Streusel Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by karenluvslife

Number Of Ingredients 15

STREUSEL:
1 1/3 cups ground sunflower seeds, pepitas and flaxseed or almond meal
1 cup coconut sugar or xylitol
2 apples, peeled and grated
1 1/2 tablespoon coconut flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspooon baking powder
2 free range eggs
2 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup walnuts, rolled oats, pepitas or sunflower seeds
1/3 cup coconut, shredded
2 tablespoon coconut sugar or xylitol
1 large teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoon maple syrup or rice syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Steps:

  • Note: If you don't want to go to the trouble of making the streusel then add the 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/3 cup coconut to the muffin mix at stage 1. Preheat oven the 350°F. (180°C) Add ground seeds or almond meal, sugar, coconut flour, cinnamon and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the grated apple and stir through making sure that there are no clumps and the dry mix is evenly distributed through the grated apple. This will ensure that the apple doesn't end up in clumps when baked. The mix will be very wet. Make a well in the centre then add the egg and oil. Mix them together quickly to break up the eggs and combine with the oil Quickly fold the egg mixture through the mix then spoon or pour into the muffin pans. Bake for 15 minute then add the streusel and bake for another 5 minutes or until done. It's ok to take them out of the oven, just be quick! If not adding the streusel then bake for 20 minutes or until done. Add the walnuts, coconut and cinnamon to a blender or food processor and light pulse to combine and break up the mixture until it resembles course bread crumbs. Alternately you can chop the walnuts into small pieces then add them to the coconut. Add the syrup and oil/butter the pulse again until they cover the whole mix. If you're not using a blender then distribute evenly with your fingertips until the mixture is moist and sticky. Use the seed mix for the flour and sunflower seeds, pepitas or oats for the streusel.
