Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup peeled and diced apples

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, ground cinnamon (natural), and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute all leavening agents and spices.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine plant-based milk, vegetable oil or melted plant-based butter, brown sugar or coconut sugar, vanilla extract (natural), and the flax egg. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  4. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the peeled and diced apples into the batter, evenly distributing without crushing the fruit.
  5. Portion Into Muffin Cups: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup. Spoon the batter evenly into each cup, filling about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples to ensure moist and flavorful muffins.
  • Stir batter just until combined to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Spoon and level flour when measuring to avoid dense muffins.
  • Toast cinnamon (natural) briefly before adding to enhance aroma.
  • Let muffins cool completely before storing to maintain freshness and prevent sogginess.
