High-Fiber Maple Apple Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make High-Fiber Maple Apple Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and give 12 muffin cups a light spritz of cooking spray to ensure your delicious creations pop right out later.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

3. Step 3

   Stir these dry ingredients together until they’re well blended, creating a fragrant base for your muffins.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, mix finely chopped apples with nonfat milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup, and brown sugar.

5. Step 5

   This sweet and fruity mixture is where the magic begins! Gently fold in a beaten egg, ensuring everything is combined without losing that lovely texture.

6. Step 6

   Now, pour this apple goodness into your flour mixture and stir just until everything is combined.

7. Step 7

   Remember, a few lumps are perfectly fine—overmixing can lead to tough muffins, and we want them light and fluffy! Next, spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for a delightful rise.

8. Step 8

   Place them in your preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing that perfect, moist crumb.

10. Step 10

    Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes—this is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
