Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 2 large Eggs Provides structure and moisture; swap with egg replacer for a vegan option.
  • 2 tbsp Packed Brown Sugar Adds sweetness; substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier choice.
  • 3/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt Increases moisture and protein; consider full-fat yogurt for a richer muffin.
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Applesauce Acts as a natural sweetener; can be replaced with mashed bananas.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Adds flavor; choose a vanilla bean for a more intense taste.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; whole wheat flour adds nuttiness.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Helps the muffins rise; can use baking soda if paired with an acidic ingredient.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Enhances flavor; pumpkin pie spice can be used for a seasonal twist.
  • 1 large Apple (Peeled and Diced) Adds natural sweetness; opt for sweet varieties like Gala or Fuji.
  • 1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar Optional for topping; omit for sugar-free option.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Optional for topping; adjust according to taste preference.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed.

  7. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
