Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped fresh apples
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon (natural), brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures the spices and leavening agents are well distributed for an even rise and flavor.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped fresh apples, unsweetened applesauce (natural), plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Stir these gently until smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix lightly with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will keep the muffins tender and soft in texture.
  4. Incorporate the natural gelling agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent evenly over the batter and fold it in gently. This will help maintain moisture and enhance the softness of your muffins as they bake.
  5. Bake the muffins: Spoon the batter evenly 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, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for a cozy, flavorful breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith for brightness and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins fluffy and soft.
  • Begin testing doneness with a toothpick at 18 minutes to avoid drying out the muffins.
  • Choose fresh cinnamon (natural) for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Bring wet ingredients to room temperature before mixing for better results.
