Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cup Optional topping: Additional brown sugar and cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.
Fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
If using the optional topping, mix additional brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl, then sprinkle a pinch over the top of each muffin.
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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
