I made the decision to combine the remaining components of my stuffing recipe with my wheat muffin recipe. These muffins are a convenient, healthful alternative to finger food. They have a buttery-like flavor and are both sweet and savory.

Ingredients
- 2 cups water

- ½ cup margarine, melted
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup sucralose sugar substitute (such as Splenda®)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
- Whisk water, milk powder, margarine, white sugar, eggs, sucralose, baking powder, salt, thyme, baking soda, onion powder, garlic powder, minced onion, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Whisk all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour into milk powder mixture until batter is thick. Fold apples and celery into batter; spoon into prepared muffin cups.

- You can substitute canola oil for the margarine. You can substitute 2% milk for the nonfat milk and water mixture. You can substitute sugar for the sucralose.
- You can use any sweet-tart apple, such as McIntosh, Cortland, Jonathan, Macoun, Rhode Island, Criterion, Baldwin, or Pink Lady.

These were very nice. I made per recipe. The apple is the first thing you taste, then followed by the onion and other savory spices. I tried these cool and warmed up and I did prefer them warm.. you got more of the savory spice flavor and smell that way. These would be a nice accompaniment to any fall/ winter meat entrée
Was looking for a light bread stuffing recipe similar to my stuffing for chicken or turkey to serve with a pork loin roast. I kind of played with this recipe using white flour (no wheat flour), 1 apple instead of 2, and totally eliminated the sugar substitute as I really didn’t want ‘sweet’. I added 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 tsp of chicken bullion. Thanks jjsMA.. really appreciated your recipe.. even though I messed with it to suit my needs..
