Why You’ll Love These Muffins
Healthier – Unlike traditional muffins loaded with refined flour and sugar, these apple muffins are made with whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, Greek yogurt and pumpkin. They’re packed with wholesome ingredients that make for a healthier treat without sacrificing flavor. Perfectly Spiced – The combination of cinnamon, pumpkin and fresh apples gives these muffins the perfect fall flavor! Great for On-the-Go – These muffins are portable and perfect for busy mornings. Just grab one as you head out the door, and you’ve got a delicious breakfast or snack. Kid-Friendly – Olivia and Tucker are big fans of these muffins! I love adding them to their school lunch boxes for a healthy fall treat.
whole wheat flour – packed with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, it is really easy to bake with and provides and added boost of nutrients! I use Bob’s Red Mill 100% Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour. cinnamon – cinnamon with apple is the ultimate fall flavor combo. You’ll also use some for the topping. eggs – the eggs are needed to help provide structure for the muffins so they rise and become nice and fluffy. coconut sugar – the less-processed upgrade for brown sugar. You’ll also use some for the topping. butter – a tried and true ingredient for giving muffins that moist and delicious texture. pumpkin – adding some pumpkin to this recipe helps cut back on the amount of butter and amps up the fall flavors! Make sure you use pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling! You can also make your own pumpkin puree. Greek yogurt – I typically use plain full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt, which helps keep these muffins moist. No dry muffins here! apple – the star of the show! You’ll need about 1-2 apples, peeled and finely chopped into pieces. I typically use Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples, depending on what I can find.

How to Store Apple Muffins
Let these muffins cool completely before storing them. I recommend storing them in the fridge rather than on your countertop. They’ll last longer and they taste delicious straight from the fridge. That said, these muffins will last 2-3 days at room temperature, up to one week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
