Apple Cinnamon Muffins

March 4, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 23 Comments

Hi Everyone,

It’s so sad to write this post because I know Monday is almost here.  We really need to do something about a 5 day work week.  Why not make it 3?  Ok, I’ll settle for 4!  🙂  Today in Northern California it was gorgeous out.  It had to have been in the 70’s.  It’s 6pm right now and I have my back door open.  That’s one thing I love about warmer weather, is opening the doors and windows and letting the fresh air in.  Tomorrow it’s suppose to be another gorgeous day!!  I was going to go out and walk today, but instead I stayed in and made these.

What are these little darlings, you wonder?  There apple cinnamon muffins.  I have been craving apples and cinnamon lately, so I decided to come up with a muffin, so I can freeze them and take them to work with me.  These little bites of deliciousness are made with whole wheat flour, Chobani Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt and 1 cup of freshly chopped apples.  You get an apple in every bite!!


I am so pleased with these muffins.  There moist, light, flavorful and only, get ready for this, only 89 calories a muffin!  Yup, you read that right!!!  Unbelievable!  Why didn’t I come up with these sooner?   I even added a 1/2 cup of sugar in them, just to make them a little sweeter than last weeks Blueberry Lemon Muffins.   Oh, and yes, their normal muffin size, no skimping over here!!  I got 18 muffins out of this batch and if I didn’t cram the batter in the muffin cups, I probably would have had more.  But I like a fat muffin, don’t you?

This is one muffin that will please everyone in your family and it will make you feel good that you are giving them a healthy treat.   So there’s not guilt if you eat two of them.  I love guilt free food.

I also made some lemon bread for my neighbor who gave me a ton of oranges and lemons this week.  I have to say, they are the best oranges I ever had.  There so sweet!  I plan on making a few goodies with them tomorrow, but that’s a secret for now.  I don’t like to share, because if they don’t turn out I feel bad.  So you’ll just have to be patient and wait.

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted (I used Brumble & Brown)

2 tablespoon unsweetened apple sauce

2 eggs (I used egg substitute)

6 ounces apple cinnamon greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup non-fat milk

1 cup apples, peeled and diced small

cooking spray

1 Tablespoon Turbinado Sugar

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

In a separate bowl combine the butter, apple sauce, eggs, yogurt, milk and vanilla extract. Add to the flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Gently fold in the apples.

Spoon the batter into 18 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle Turbinado sugar over the tops of the muffins.

Bake muffins at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until light golden.

Makes 18 muffins:

Nutrition per muffin:  Calories:  89,  Fat:  .07,  Cholesterol:  .1,  Sodium:  90,  Potassium:  64.4,  Carbs:  17,  Fiber:  1.6,  Sugar:  5.8,  Protein:  3.2

You must try these muffins!!  They only take a few minutes to make and about 16 minutes or so to bake.  So worth it!!!  These are one of my favorite muffins I have created.  Isn’t it fun when you make something and it comes out and to find out it’s low in calories, fat and sugar?   He he!!!  Hmmm, what is your favorite kind of muffin?  Would love to get new muffin ideas, and try to make them low-calorie so we can enjoy them guilt free.

Off the subject of delicious muffins, how do you store your recipes?  Do you have a computer program?  Or do you just leave them on your blog?   I would like to think I would have my blog forever, but with technology these days, you never know what may happen to our blogs, so I want to store my recipes in a safe place so I can pass them on.  So please any input you have would be wonderful!!

I guess before I go, I should let you know how I am doing on my workouts.  I haven’t reported to you in a couple of weeks.  Last week I was 2 calorie burn short of my 1700 calorie burn goal.  Kind of stinky, I told myself I would do better this week, and I started out strong!  I jogged 3 miles twice, did my strength training and jump roped Monday – Wednesday and then I got sick, so I couldn’t finish my work outs.  I ended the week just shy of 1500 calorie burn.  If I went and did Thursday, Friday and Saturday I would have been way over, but I didn’t want to push myself.  I’m kind of angry with myself about that, so tomorrow, I am going to be strong and just do it!!  I am going to do strength training in the morning and go for a jog in the afternoon while it’s nice and warm out.  Hopefully that will give me the push I need to start my week out right!!  Hope my enthusiasm sticks!

Well that’s it for me.  I have my butternut squash Frittata in the oven, and it’s almost done.  I’m going to have that with my Apple Cinnamon Muffin.  Yum, yum, yum!

Oh and one last thing, my blog was nominated on Fitness Magazine for Healthy Eating Blog, I would love it so much if you voted for me.  Go here to vote. Thanks!!

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol
👻
Also, the pillow and the Halloween sign on the side of the door is also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

What is your favorite type of coffee?

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
