A delicious apple muffin, not too sweet and low in fat. The Lemon Orange Glaze adds the perfect tartness.
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and grated
3 tablespoons grated orange
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400°. Have ready 12 paper-lined muffin cups.
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat first 7 ingredients until blended, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until dry ingredients are just moistened. (Do not overbeat!)
Divide batter between 12 paper-lined muffin cups and bake in a 400° oven for about 22 to 25 minutes or until muffins are lightly browned and a cake tester, inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, and then remove from pan, and continue cooling on a rack. Brush tops with Lemon Orange Glaze( optional). Yields 12 muffins.
Lemon Orange Glaze:
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated orange peel
Stir together all the ingredients until blended.
