Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated apple (fresh)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (natural), and brown sugar until evenly combined. This ensures your spices and leavening agents are well distributed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, pure vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth. This mixture brings moisture and tenderness to your muffins.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can make muffins tough.
  5. Add the Apples: Fold grated apple into the batter, distributing it evenly to ensure every muffin has juicy apple flavor and natural sweetness.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool briefly before enjoying.

Notes

  • Fresh Apples are Key: Use freshly grated apples for juiciness and flavor; avoid pre-packaged apple shreds.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined to keep muffins tender and avoid a dense crumb.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to ensure consistent baking results every time.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Helps the batter come together smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Add a Crumble Topping: Sprinkle a mix of brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), and chopped nuts before baking for an extra crunch.
