These muffins are light, fluffy, and packed with the natural sweetness of apples, combined with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Using plant-based ingredients, they’re dairy-free and perfect for anyone looking for a wholesome, homemade baked good.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • Plain Flour (250g): The base of the muffins.
  • Baking Powder (2 tsp): Helps the muffins rise.
  • Baking Soda (1/2 tsp): Adds a little extra lift.
  • Cinnamon (1 tsp): Adds warmth and flavor.
  • Nutmeg (1/2 tsp): Optional, for extra spice.
  • Salt (a pinch)

Wet Ingredients

  • Apples (2 medium, grated): Adds moisture and natural sweetness.
  • Plant-Based Milk (120ml): Such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Coconut Oil (75ml, melted): For a moist texture.
  • Eggs (2 large): Binds the batter.
  • Maple Syrup or Honey (75ml): Natural sweetener.
  • Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Raisins or Chopped Nuts (50g): For added texture.
  • Oats (for sprinkling on top): For a rustic finish.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2: Prepare the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the grated apples, plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4: Combine the wet and dry ingredients

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy. If using raisins or nuts, gently fold them in at this stage.

Step 5: Fill the muffin tin

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle oats on top if desired.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and serve

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
