APPLE SPICE MUFFINS



Apple Spice Muffins image

Think of crème fraîche as sour cream's richer, thicker, less-sour sibling. In this healthy muffin recipe, it's the secret ingredient that gives these muffins a light texture and rich flavor. The batter is made with extra spices and tons of sweet fruit, which means you won't notice the minimal amount of white sugar.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 ¾ cups white whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅓ cup granulated sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and at room temperature
½ cup crème fraîche, at room temperature
½ cup reduced-fat milk, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¾ cup dried cranberries or raisins, divided
3 ½ cups finely chopped peeled Granny Smith apples (2-3 large)
1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup rolled oats
½ cup white whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 20 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • To prepare batter: Sift 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cloves into a mixing bowl. Add sugar and 8 tablespoons butter and stir to combine. Add crème fraîche, milk, eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla; beat on low speed for 10 to 15 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 20 seconds.
  • Chop about half the cranberries (or raisins) into small pieces. Fold all the cranberries (or raisins), apples and 1 cup oats into the batter. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups.
  • To prepare topping: Mix oats, flour, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk butter, honey and vanilla in a small bowl; drizzle on top of the oat mixture and mix until well incorporated. Top each muffin with some of the crumb topping.
  • Bake on the upper and lower racks, rotating top to bottom halfway through, until lightly golden and firm to the touch, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the tins on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

LOW-FAT APPLE SPICE MUFFINS



Low-Fat Apple Spice Muffins image

What I like the most about these muffins is that the spices make the muffin what it is. The raw cane sugar and whole wheat pastry flour are the best to use because they are the least processed ingredients available and retain more of their natural goodness. The chunky apple bits give me more for my bite and add another level of sweetness to the muffin. These make a great breakfast or brunch item, or you can have one with a cup of coffee and unwind! Enjoy!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup all purpose flour, divided, plus 1 tablespoon
⅓ cup whole wheat flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ stick unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
¼ cup apple sauce
1 honeycrisp apple, shredded, plus 2, finely diced, divided
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Make the apple spice blend: in a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Make the muffins: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125 G) all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed or whisk to beat the butter until light yellow and aerated, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated and brown sugars and continue beating until light, fluffy, and nearly doubled in volume, 2 minutes more. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add the applesauce and shredded apple and stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and gently fold to combine, being careful not to overmix. Add 1¾ cups of the diced apples to the remaining dry ingredients and toss to coat, then add to the wet ingredients and gently fold to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the remaining ¾ cup diced apples, melted butter, remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and remaining 1½ teaspoons of apple spice blend.
  • Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups. Top each muffin with some of the apple topping and sprinkle with the demerara sugar.
  • Bake the muffins for 15 minutes, then rotate the muffin tin 180° and bake for 12-15 minutes more, until the muffins are puffed and golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispy streusel topping, use cold butter and flour. The cold butter will create steam when it bakes, which will help the streusel rise and become crispy.
  • To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These Low-Fat Apple Spice Muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are also low in fat and calories. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are a great option.
