Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose?

Absolutely! Swap up to half the flour for whole wheat - it adds a nice nuttiness. Any more than that and you'll get denser muffins (still tasty, but not as fluffy). My trick? Sift it first to keep things light!

How do I keep my muffins from drying out?

Two secrets: 1) Don't overbake them - pull them when a toothpick has moist crumbs, not clean. And 2) Store them in an airtight container with a paper towel underneath to absorb excess moisture. Find more easy muffin recipes on my Pinterest boards .

Can I make these gluten-free?

You bet! Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend (I like the ones with xanthan gum already added). The apples and cinnamon make these such flavorful little guys, you won't even miss the gluten. Just be extra gentle when mixing - GF batters are more delicate.
