Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix the honey, applesauce, yogurt, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the unbleached flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey mixture. Stir until no large lumps remain. Pour into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
