How to Make Healthy Cinnamon Muffins
Make sure to spray the muffin tins and or the muffin cup liners with oil.
Unlike the high calorie and high fat muffin recipes, these low calorie cinnamon muffins don’t have a lot of fat. So they will stick to the liners or muffin cups without spraying them first.
How to Make Healthy Cinnamon Crumb Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 350°, and spray muffin pans with olive oil.
- To a small bowl, combine all of the muffin crumble topping ingredients, and work together with your fingers until it’s the consistency of wet sand. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the “dry ingredients” the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
- To a separate medium bowl, whisk together the “wet ingredients: the eggs, vanilla, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and applesauce.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix together, until just combined.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full of cinnamon muffin batter, and sprinkle the muffin crumble over the tops.
