Eggless Whole Wheat Apple Muffins

           My Christmas treat this year are these easy and simple Eggless Apple muffins made with  whole wheat flour / atta for a healthier version. Brown sugar can be substituted with jaggery or honey. I flavored it with cinnamon powder. 

          However, you may use only vanilla essence or cardamom powder according to your preference. So enjoy them as a tea-time snack, dessert, or serve them as an after school snack to your kids, where you can sprinkle any of their favorite dry fruits. 

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda 
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
• 1/2 cup powdered brown sugar
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 cup grated apple
• 1-2 tbsp. chopped pistachios

          Sift together whole wheat flour, pinch of salt, baking powder and baking soda. Keep aside.

          Whisk the sugar, milk, oil and cinnamon powder to combine well. Now fold in the flour mix, followed by the grated apple. 

          Place the muffin liners on the muffin tray and spoon the batter in it till 3/4 of the liners. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over them.

          Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C. for 20-25 minutes. Do the toothpick test to ensure it is well done. 

           Bring it to room temperature and enjoy them as a tea-time snack, dessert, or serve them as an after school snack to your kids, where you can sprinkle any of their favorite dry fruits.
