Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 180 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 20 grams Rolled oats (optional, for topping)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently mix the batter with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender muffin texture.
Fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle rolled oats on top for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the muffins lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your Norsk Apple Muffins warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea!
