Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw before using)
For the Crumb Topping:
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Equipment

  • oven
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 separate bowl
  • 6 jumbo muffin tins
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 fork

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Combine the flours, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, combine applesauce, egg whites, and milk. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet in two additions until well moistened.
  3. Gently fold in the blueberries. Divide batter evenly between 6 jumbo muffin tins (that have been sprayed with non stick cooking spray).
  4. In a small bowl combine topping ingredients and mix well with a fork. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins and very gently press down with your fingertips (just enough to get the topping to “adhere” to the batter).
  5. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Allow muffins to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing them from the tin.

Notes

Crumb Topping Texture: For a more pronounced crunch in the crumb topping, combine the ingredients until they resemble coarse crumbs. This will give your muffins an irresistible texture contrast.
