Light Apple Stuffing Muffins

  4.5 – 2 reviews  • Whole Wheat Muffin Recipes

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.

  8. 2 ½ teaspoons salt
  9. 2 teaspoons ground thyme
  10. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  11. ½ teaspoon onion powder
  12. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  13. ½ teaspoon dried minced onion

  17. 2 sweet-tart apples (such as Gala), cored and chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Rotate muffin pans and bake until set and golden, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  4. 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.
  5. 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..
