Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh apples (about 1 medium apple)
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chopped apples and nuts if using. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use freshly chopped apples for the best flavor and texture.
- Optionally add nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
- Storage: Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage.
