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 Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
🌻
My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
