These easy whole grain Apple Streusel Muffins with Maple Glaze will become a family favorite!
The crumb topping is so delicious. Makes a great after school snack!
Why yes, I did just post muffins last week! Did you see my Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins?
I've made more muffins this month than I made all of last year. Before this, I was all about biscotti, like this Pumpkin Pie Biscotti or this Almond Lavender Biscotti.
But now I've decided I like making muffins. They are easy to make and easy to make healthy!
Instructions:
- First you mix the streusel ingredients in a small bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet ingredients and the sugar in a small bowl or a batter bowl.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Line a muffin tin with paper cup liners and fill with batter.
- Top with streusel mixture.
- Bake.
- When cooled, glaze with maple glaze.
These whole grain muffins stay so moist from the diced apple!
There is just enough crumb or streusel on top to give it a little added sweetness and crunch and the maple glaze adds a little extra maple flavor.
Variations - you could add some raisins or dried cranberries.
