Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffing tray with paper liners and lightly spray them with cooking spray.
- Prep the apple: In a small bowl combine the grated apple, ¼ tsp of the cinnamon, honey and the lemon juice. Stir well and set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl combine whole wheat flour, bran, almond meal, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and whisk. Set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a larger bowl mix the applesauce, oil, egg whites, brown sugar and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated. You could also use your mixer for this.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly incorporate the flour mixture and continue whisking until well combined. Fold in the apples and walnuts.
- Pour batter into muffin pan: Pour the batter into the muffin cups and top each with ½ tsp to 1 tsp of granola.
- Bake and cool: Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool until ready to eat.

Notes
- Make sure the batter is thick! You do not want a wet batter! If your batter is more liquid than thick, you may want to make some adjustments. Adding a bit more flour or a little less applesauce are some examples of tweaking the recipe. Keep in mind, the batter should be “spoonable” not “pourable”.
- Use room temperature ingredients! If you use room temperature ingredients such as eggs or butter (in this case apple sauce) it will help the baking process as they aren’t aren’t cold when incorporated into the other ingredients.
- Fill the muffin tins until they are nearly full and the batter will rise, rise, rise! Muffins can’t rise if there isn’t enough batter!
- The best way to store muffins, or any kind of quick breads, is to place them into a sealable bag and leave them at room temperature. This will keep them fresh for up to 3-5 days.
- Freezing any kind of muffin is pretty easy! Just wrap your apple muffins in aluminum foil, place them in a large freezer bag or airtight container, and they will last for 3 months!
