Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Produce

  • 1 1/2 cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and dice fresh apples into small 1/4 inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly in the muffins, providing juicy pockets of sweetness in every bite.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. Whisk together thoroughly to distribute leavening and spices evenly for a consistent texture.
  3. Blend wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to create a moist and sweet base to complement the dry ingredients.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixes: Slowly pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light. Once incorporated, fold in the diced apples evenly.
  5. Bake the muffins: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Divide the batter evenly into the cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use crisp apples like Fuji or Granny Smith for best texture and balanced sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until dry and wet ingredients are combined to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Ensure the baking powder is fresh for maximum rise and soft crumb.
  • Dice apples evenly into small cubes for consistent moisture distribution.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup (natural) if desired.
