Start your morning off with one of Dietitian Amanda’s healthier muffins. They’re full of apple flavor, spice, and they have that crunchy muffin top everyone loves!

Apple Crunch Muffins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray or line 16 standard-sized muffin cups; set aside.

Combine Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and applesauce in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined. 

In a separate large bowl, whisk together whole wheat and all-purpose flours, milled flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients into Greek yogurt mixture beating to combine. Fold in chopped apples. Divide mixture between prepared muffin cups; set aside.

Prepare Crunchy Topping: In a small bowl, combine walnuts, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Using your hands or a fork, toss with canola oil. Divide topping among muffins, pressing mixture slightly to adhere.

Bake muffins 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Cool completely on wire cooling racks.
