ABOUT Whole Wheat Apple Cranberry Muffins with Streusel Topping – Egg less Recipe RECIPE

Baking with whole wheat is one of my favorite as I love the nuttiness of the whole grain. Anytime a recipe calls for all purpose flour, I try it once as is, then I try it with 50% wheat flour substitution and sometimes I completely replace the refined flour with whole wheat. I have to say though that not all recipes work great with whole wheat. There are some recipes that just needs the all purpose flour. But as a trend, I have noticed that whole wheat pastry flour works very well when substituted for all purpose flour.
