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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
