Ingredients
Wet ingredients
- ¼ cup butter melted. Can use vegan butter or dairy butter, unsalted
- 3/4 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 cups apple grated, with or without peel. (1-2 apples)
- 2 egg beaten
- ¼ cup milk can use dairy milk or dairy free milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Dry ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 and 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg grated
- ¼ tsp ground clove
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying with non stick spray or using muffin liners.
- In one bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - melted butter, apple sauce, grated apple, eggs, maple syrup, milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, spices, salt, baking powder and baking soda until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Evenly divide the batter between 12 muffin cups.
- Bake the muffins at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. After five minutes, leave muffins in the oven but reduce heat on oven to 350 degrees. Bake for another 17-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove muffins from the oven to a cooling rack. As soon as muffins are cool enough to handle, remove them from the muffin tin and finish cooling on the cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before storing.
- Muffins can be kept in a sealed container at room temperature for 1-2 days. Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
- To freeze: Allow to completely cool before freezing. Individually wrap in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer bag. Muffins can be thawed in the refrigerator overnight or quickly thawed and warmed up in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
- To make dairy free: use vegan butter and non dairy milk such as unsweetened almond milk.
