This walnut apple muffin recipe is one of the tastiest low fat muffin recipes you will find.

I love apple and walnuts together and each of them is such a healthy food choice.

Low Fat Apple Walnut Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 rounded teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
• 2/3 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons oat bran
• 2 small apples, peeled, cored and chopped (Granny Smiths work well)
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Method

Variations:

• Try other juices instead of the apple juice, like pineapple, mango or orange. Use your imagination.
• Replace the walnuts with pecans for a delicious treat.
• For a pretty presentation, thinly slice an apple and place one slice on each muffin before baking.

Make It Even Healthier

To make this healthy muffin recipe even healthier, I would replace at least 1/2 of the white, all-purpose flour called for in the recipe with whole wheat flour. It won’t change the taste much but it will add fiber and lots of extra nutrients.

I do recommend, however, that when you use whole wheat flour in your baking, take the time to sift the flour first. It makes a big difference to the taste of the end product.

I add walnuts to almost every batch of muffins I make. They add a nice crunch and so much goodness.

These easy to make healthy muffins will delight young and old alike.

And no one will even suspect they are low fat muffins!
