  • 1/4 cup erythritol Or a similar sweetener, use carefully to avoid overly sweet muffins.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce Can be replaced with mashed banana for different flavor.
  • 1/4 cup milk Or almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Mix-ins
  • as desired nuts or berries These can be added for extra flavor and texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in nuts or berries to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Look for a golden-brown color and a firm surface.
  2. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, microwave for a few seconds until warmed through.
