Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups apples, diced (fresh crisp variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution for a balanced muffin texture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and fully combined to create a moist and flavorful base.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently but thoroughly. Mix only until just combined without any visible flour streaks to avoid tough muffins.
  4. Fold in Apples and Natural Gelling Agent: Gently fold the diced apples and natural gelling agent into the batter, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout for juicy bites in every muffin.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or lightly greased. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use fresh crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just enough to combine ingredients to keep muffins tender.
  • Bring plant-based milk and oil to room temperature before mixing to help the batter blend smoothly.
  • Preheat the oven properly at 375°F (190°C) for even baking and a perfect rise.
  • Start checking muffin doneness at 18 minutes to prevent drying them out.
