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 Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?
