Ingredients

Strawberry Muffin

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 container unsweetened apple sauce I use the snack size ~300ml
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp no sugar added strawberry jam
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Cheesecake topping

  • 2 tbsp liquid egg whites
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup light cream cheese room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375.

  2. Mix the flour, apple sauce, baking powder, baking soda, greek yogurt, strawberry jam and the vanilla extract, liquid egg whites and maple syrup specified under the 'Strawberry Muffin' subheading in a bowl.

  3. In a different bowl, mix the light cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract and egg whites (specified under the cheesecake topping subheading) with a mixer until smooth.

  4. Spray your muffin tray with cooking spray (if not non-stick) and scoop the strawberry muffin mixture into the muffin tray. Add approximately 1/2 tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture on top of each muffin.

  5. Optionally use a butter knife or toothpick to make a 'swirl' pattern.

  6. Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.

  7. Allow them to cool and place the muffins in the refrigerator to store. Best served chilled.

Notes

 I find adding the cream cheese and maple syrup, mixing, then the vanilla, mixing and then the egg whites makes the cheesecake topping much smoother.
