Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups apple peeled and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 12 cup muffin pan with parchment paper liners.
- Combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, salt) in a large bowl. Whisk to evenly distribute everything.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add eggs and yogurt to well. Whisk eggs into yogurt incorporating as little of flour as possible.
- Add applesauce and lemon juice to yogurt and eggs. Whisk to mix, slowly incorporating in the flour.
- Mix only until everything is incorporated, some lumps may remain. Over mixing will result in tough muffins. Gently fold in apple pieces.
- Scoop batter into paper liners, filling to the top or slightly heaping.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean and the muffins are lightly browned.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel under them to absorb any moisture for up to 3 days. They are best served warm and the same day.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Substitute the Greek yogurt with milk
- Substitute the egg for a flax egg to make it vegan.
- Substitute the coconut sugar with any other granulated sugar.
- Substitute the applesauce with butter, coconut oil or any neutral oil.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
