Ingredients




1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup turbinado sugar (or regular sugar)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter (cold)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Streusel 

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup regular sugar

Preparation

1 In small bowl mix flour, sugars and cinnamon. Add butter and using a fork (I actually used 2 forks), mash until combined. Once everything is mashed and mixed you'll get a thick paste- place in fridge while you make the batter. 2 In large bowl, combine/whisk flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. 3 Cut butter into small cubes and using paddle attachment mix into dry mix until butter in fully incorporated. 4 Mix in applesauce. 5 Add egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract- mix until smooth. 6 Remove streusel from fridge. In a prepared muffin tin (spray with Pam), place a spoonful of batter into each mold. Use your fingers and sprinkle streusel over batter (about 1-2 teaspoons). Cover with another spoonful of batter. Top with remaining streusel. 7 Transfer to oven and bake for 25 minutes. 8 Remove from oven and place on cooling rack for 10 minutes before serving.
