Easy Cinnamon Apple Muffins Using Cake Mix
When the weather starts changing and getting cooler, everyone starts asking for fall-themed recipes. These apple cinnamon muffins are a result of multiple tests to create a muffin with flavor and lower calories. As I continue on my journey to use WW for losing weight, and a plant-based diet for other health and moral reasons, it is harder than ever. This recipe is accidentally vegan and seriously amazing!

I prefer using from-scratch recipes, but they just fell flat every time. This is an upgrade to a cake mix, and that was shockingly naturally vegan. So, for those who are looking for something to fit into a plant-based or vegan diet plan, this will work. I do typically use the Pillsbury Sugar-Free Cake Mixes since they are lower in points. If you use a traditional cake mix, this recipe will be higher in points. If you are looking for a vegan recipe, then always double-check the cake mix to make sure it does not contain any dairy or eggs. Most do not.
Ingredients
1 Sugar-Free Cake Mix (white or yellow)
1 ½ cups Granny Smith apples, chopped (approximately 3 small apples in ¼" dices)
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 small ripe banana
½ cup water
½ cup apple juice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
How to Make Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray with nonstick spray or line full-sized muffin tins.
In a large bowl, mash the banana and mix well with applesauce.
Mix together dry cake mix and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Pour mashed banana and applesauce mixture as well as water over dry mixture and lightly mix, but don't completely blend.
Add in apples, and mix well.
Pour approximately ¼ cup mixture into each muffin tin. This should make enough for 18 muffins.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
These will be moist, but should not be liquid in the center.

I use traditional muffin tins and spray them with non-stick spray. However, silicone muffin cups or silicone muffin tins may be a better method for some. Choose whatever method you prefer. These muffins are not large, but they are average-sized and very filling since they have tons of fiber with the apples chopped inside.
Apple Cinnamon Muffins make a great breakfast alongside some fresh fruit. They are also an excellent flavorful dessert that even my picky 10-year-old loved!
