Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (natural flavoring)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural flavoring)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural flavoring)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural flavoring)
Produce
- 2 medium fresh apples, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and dice the fresh apples into small, evenly sized pieces to distribute throughout the muffins for consistent flavor and texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural flavoring), coconut oil, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural flavoring) until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Add the Apples: Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking down the pieces.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into a lined muffin tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh apples like Fuji or Gala for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Use room temperature ingredients for an even rise and smooth blend.
- Check muffins for doneness starting at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack.
