Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Other Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh apples, diced (firmer varieties like Granny Smith recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon (natural), and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and spices throughout the batter.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar (natural), non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), unsweetened applesauce (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth and fully blended to create a moist, flavorful base.
  3. Combine the Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold using a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing, preserving a tender muffin texture.
  4. Add Fresh Apples and Natural Gelling Agent: Fold in the diced fresh apples and natural gelling agent to maintain softness and structure in the muffins.
  5. Portion and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into a muffin tin lined with paper liners or lightly greased. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith for best texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to preserve moisture and fluffiness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for even blending and proper rising.
  • Check your oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent baking results.
  • Optional: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for extra sweetness and texture.
  • Variations include adding chopped nuts, dried fruits, additional spices like nutmeg or cloves, or using gluten-free baking blends.
  • To store, keep cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to a week.
  • Freeze individually wrapped muffins in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat muffins in microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes.
