Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh diced apples (preferably Fuji or Granny Smith)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 1/4 cup raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped dates
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg (natural) or cardamom (natural)
  • Optional: smoked turkey bacon (plant-based) for savory twist
  • Optional garnish: powdered sugar (natural), chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon (natural), and brown sugar (natural) to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy to hydrate the dry ingredients and bind the batter.
  3. Combine and Fold in Apples: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins light. Finally, fold in the diced apples for juicy bursts of flavor in each bite.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Lightly grease your muffin tin or line with paper cases. Spoon the batter evenly into each cup, leaving space at the top for the muffins to rise as they bake.
  5. Bake and Cool: 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. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their soft crumb and rich cinnamon aroma.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples like Fuji or Granny Smith for the best balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Mix the batter only until combined to avoid dense muffins.
  • Bring wet ingredients to room temperature before mixing for better texture.
  • Check muffins starting at 18 minutes to prevent overbaking as oven temperatures vary.
  • Customize spices by adjusting cinnamon or adding nutmeg or cardamom to taste.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain moisture.
  • Freeze muffins wrapped individually for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before eating.
  • Reheat muffins gently in a toaster oven or microwave for 20-30 seconds to restore softness.
