Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cups Buttermilk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Apple, peeled, cored, and diced (about 1 medium apple)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the liquids are fully blended.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a pinch of brown sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Buttermilk Apple Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
