How to Make Apple Walnut Muffins Low Fat Low Sugar Version

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ cup rolled oats, 1 cup Splenda granular, and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  4. In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk together: 1 large egg, ½ cup buttermilk, ¼ cup apple butter, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and ½ cup grated apple.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  7. Combine topping ingredients (see recipe #204126 for topping suggestions, or use ½ cup chopped walnuts and ¼ cup rolled oats) and sprinkle evenly over muffin tops.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
  10. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
