Description
“Everyday” muffins that are anything but ordinary and are still hearty enough for breakfast. Fluffy with a crunch from the apples and walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- cooking spray
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and butter. Gently fold the buttermilk into the flour mixture, just until combined. Fold in the apples and the walnuts.
- Divide batter among the muffin cups, filling about 3/4ths of the way full. Bake muffins for 16-18 minutes, until browning around edges and springing back when touched. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring out of the muffin tin and onto a wire rack to cool completely.
