Blueberry Applesauce Muffins

Makes 16 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat or whole wheat white flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ cups low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 ¼ cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries or frozen (if frozen add 1 tablespoon flour and mix in separate bowl)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly coat 16 muffin cups with cooking spray.

In a large bowl mix together both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon, making a well in the center of dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl whisk together buttermilk, applesauce, egg, oil and vanilla extract.

Pour buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until batter is just moistened. Fold in the blueberries.

Using a ¼ measuring cup pour mixture into the muffin cups (each should be about 2/3 full) and bake for 20 minutes.

Cool muffins on rack for about 5 minutes before removing from tray. Continue cooling muffins on rack.

***Tip- Once completely cooled, freeze muffins in a freezer storage bag for longer shelf life.***
