For the Muffins
  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup diced apple about 1 large apple, peeled and cored
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat
  • 0.5 cup maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Equipment

  • 1 12-cup muffin tin

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold the diced apples into the batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
