Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your muffin pan by either lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add Apples: Fold in the chopped apples into the dry mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, low-fat milk, and oil until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
-
Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
-
Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to create the streusel topping.
-
Add Topping: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter in each cup, adding a flavorful crunch to each bite.
-
Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and firm to the touch.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve these delightful Low-Fat Apple Streusel Muffins warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors with every bite.
