Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Base
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour adds hearty fiber and creates a rustic texture.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour provides structure and lightness for a tender crumb.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder acts as a primary leavening agent for rising.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda works with acid to enhance lift in the batter.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt enhances flavors and balances sweetness.
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon infuses the muffins with aromatic warmth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg adds subtle earthy warmth to the flavor profile.
For the Wet Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs binds ingredients together and provides richness.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt contributes tanginess and moisture while reducing added fat.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce acts as a natural sweetener and moisture booster.
  • 1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup provides natural sweetness; choose based on preference.
  • 1/2 cup Milk thins the batter for smooth mixing; can use non-dairy alternatives.
For the Tasty Additions
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups Diced Apples peeled and cored.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing each cup.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the Greek yogurt, applesauce, honey or maple syrup, and milk. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apples and any optional chopped nuts or raisins.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter and tap the tin to remove air bubbles.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
