Apple Muffins

1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ c. canola oil
2 large eggs
1 c. natural applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ c. lowfat buttermilk
1 Golden Delicious apple, grated

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
In a large bowl, combine ¾ c. brown sugar, cinnamon and oil. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in the applesauce and vanilla.
Whisk in the flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Whisk until just combined. Gently stir in the apple chunks.

Tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center of one of the muffins comes out clean. Makes ~20 muffins.
