Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
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 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
