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.

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Cream butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add yogurt, egg, and vanilla; beat until smooth.
  • Mix flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually beat dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until well mixed. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Distribute the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each at least 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing the muffins to cool on the rack completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in better-tasting muffins.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important for ensuring that the muffins turn out properly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at the correct temperature: The temperature should be high enough to cook the muffins through, but not so high that they burn.
  • Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: This will allow the muffins to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and ingredients. With a little practice, you can make perfect whole wheat muffins every time.
