ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3⁄4 cup rolled oats, not quick cooking
- 1⁄3 cup Splenda granular
- 3 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons apple butter (see Sugar Free Crock Pot Apple Butter)
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 1 cup cooking apple, grated, unpeeled (Rome, Jonagold, Granny Smith)
-
Topping
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
directions
- Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease 12 muffin tin cups or line with cupcake papers.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder & soda, salt, cinnamon, oats, Splenda and walnuts.
- Thoroughly mix the egg, buttermilk, apple butter, oil & grated apple. Pour into dry ingredients and stir gently just till mixed. A few lumps are OK; overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Combine topping ingredients & scatter over muffin tops.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (They don't rise very much; that's okay.).
- Remove from oven & cool on a rack (if you're "muffin tipper", now's the time to do it ;-) for 10 minutes. Remove from pan & finish cooling on rack.

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste & appearance; directions were clear & easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br /> <br /><br /> </p>
