APPLE WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS (KING ARTHUR FLOUR)



Apple Whole Wheat Muffins (King Arthur Flour) image

These are moist, dark, and delicious muffins from the King Arthur Flour Company. They keep well, are made of 1/2 whole wheat flour, and have brown sugar sprinkled on top for a crunchy texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular milk + 1 tbsp. of lemon juice or white vinegar. The recipe says it makes 12 muffins, but I usually get about 18. It's a very adaptable recipe and also works well with applesauce and oil rather than butter. You can also throw in 1/4 cup of walnuts, if you like.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 c whole wheat pancake mix
1 c all purpose flour
NOTE: FOR MUFFINS WITH RAISIN BRAN CEREAL, USE 1 & 1/2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR ONLY.
1 Tbsp oil for muffins; 1/3 cup for bread recipe
1 small container applesauce for muffins.
1 egg for muffins; 2 eggs for bread.
1 c fat free milk for muffins; 1/4 cup milk for bread.
1 Tbsp baking powder for muffins; only 1 & 1/2 tsp. for bread.
1/3 c light brown sugar for muffins; 1/2 cup gran.sugar for bread.
1 tsp cinnamon for either recipe.
1 c chopped granny smith apple
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
or two mashed ripe bananas, and optional 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for bread.
quick bread also includes baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Full directions are on the box of whole wheat pancake mix, by A.J. THESE ARE WONDERFUL RECIPES, WHICH I WILL USE MANY TIMES. THEY ARE QUICK, EASY AND PERFECT.
  • 2. The Apple-Walnut Muffins are made in several steps: First you measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and set aside.
  • 3. In a medium sized bowl, mix one egg, one cup milk, one tablespoon oil, one small or individual-size serving of "Natural" apple sauce (unsweetened); and blend together.
  • 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.
  • 5. The Granny Smith apple needs to be cored, peeled and shredded. I prefer to use one large G.S. Apple. I also use 1 cup of chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped.
  • 6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir in the apple and walnuts.
  • 7. Have a twelve-cup Medium-size muffin pan sprayed with oil, and an ice-cream scoop also sprayed with oil ready. The oven should be preheated to 425 degrees.
  • 8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for at least 25 minutes. Remove tin and let rest on the counter on a cake rack for a few minutes, then loosen muffins. Enjoy one (or two) while warm with a nice hot cup of coffee for breakfast each morning! We do!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (4 ounces) whole wheat flour
1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (8 ounces) buttermilk or yogurt
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease and flour 18 muffin cups and set aside. Mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar. Beat until fluffy.

Tips for Making Perfect Whole Wheat Apple Muffins:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture to the muffins. Choose firm, crisp apples that will hold their shape during baking.
  • Peel and core the apples: Peeling and coring the apples ensures that the muffins have a smooth texture and no bitter skin.
  • Chop the apples into small pieces: Chopping the apples into small pieces helps them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and ensures that each bite has a bit of apple flavor.
  • Use a combination of spices: The combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger adds a warm, autumnal flavor to the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Filling the muffin cups evenly ensures that the muffins bake evenly and have a consistent shape.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are fully baked and cooked through.
