I know they sound evil with the whole “Apple Fritter” title and all. Apple fritters are among my most favorite evil breakfast donuts on the planet. Well, the title is a little deceiving because these aren’t like those apple fritters.
These muffins have nice chunks of fresh apple in them, and they’re topped with a simple, sweet sugary glaze. The base of the muffin is cake flour and wheat flour. Almond milk and fat-free nonfat yogurt help to keep them light.
They’re not deep fried or evil in any way.
And they’re topped with a sweet and simple glaze. You can pretend like you’re eating an apple fritter (without all of those deep-fried, apple fritter calories).
I’ve included calorie and weight watchers point information… in case you might be headed in the direction of caring about that kind of stuff. Don’t expect them to taste like Apple Fritters, but they are very good, healthy apple muffins with a sweet glaze. We don’t have any problem gobbling them up within a couple of days.
One of my favorite cookbooks in recent years is Cooking Light: Way to Cook. It’s a fabulous collection of some of their greatest recipes- and the best part about it is that they show you a visual step-by-step how to make things and different techniques, etc. They have another cookbook called Cooking Light: Way to Bake– with the same concept! There are lots of step-by-step photos and instructions for different methods of baking. Here’s a peek at the inside. I don’t know about you, but I really like this kind of stuff when I cook.
The book focuses on showing you how to bake in a healthier way w/ step-by-step instructions and 150+ recipes. There are more than 600 photos- great for us visual learners, right? I suggest you try the Apple Fritter Muffins first! If you’re hoping to find more healthy things to eat for breakfast, you might also enjoy my Breakfast Popsicles or my Egg Muffins. This Breakfast Pizza looks delicious too!
