Description
Soft vegan apple muffins filled with warm spices and tender diced apples. Perfect for snacks, brunch, or cozy baking days.
Ingredients
- 1 and one half cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 half teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 quarter teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 quarter teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 half cup granulated sugar
- 1 half cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 half cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 third cup melted coconut oil slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled and finely diced apple
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 half teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and sugar until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the finely diced apple.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three quarters full.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, brush the tops lightly with melted coconut oil. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then dip each muffin top into the mixture to coat.
Notes
- Dice the apples very small so they soften fully during baking and distribute evenly throughout the muffins.
