How to Make Apple Butter Streusel Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 30-count mini-muffin pan or 12-count standard muffin tin with paper liners, or grease the cups.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup wheat germ, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup apple butter, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted margarine, melted, and 2 large egg whites until well combined.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix.
- Fill the muffin cups almost full with batter.
- Prepare the streusel topping (see below).
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter, gently patting it down.
- Bake mini-muffins for 12-15 minutes, or larger muffins for 20-22 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
- **Streusel Topping:** In a small bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- For freezing: Once the muffins have completely cooled, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat frozen muffins: Unwrap and microwave on high for about 30 seconds per muffin, or until heated through.
