How to Make Apple Pumpkin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ¼ cup wheat germ, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup pumpkin puree, ¾ cup buttermilk (see note below for making sour milk), ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy!
