Healthy Apple Quark Muffins with Yogurt Margarine (All Measurements in Grams)

1.Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with yogurt margarine.

2.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, quark, Greek yogurt, melted yogurt margarine, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

3.In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and erythritol. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

4.Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.

5.Fold in the finely chopped apples carefully, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6.Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top of each muffin for added texture and flavor.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8.Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

9.Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
