Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain plant-based yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh apples, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. This ensures even distribution of spices and leavening agents, setting a strong foundation for the muffins’ rise and flavor.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil, granulated sugar, plain plant-based yogurt, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, activating the baking soda and preparing for a tender crumb.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gently, stirring just until combined. Allow a few lumps to remain to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the muffins.
  4. Fold in Apples and Natural Gelling Agent: Carefully fold in the chopped fresh apples along with the natural gelling agent. These add moisture, sweetness, and help keep the muffin texture soft and inviting.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Spoon the batter into a lined or greased muffin tray, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. This prevents sogginess and preserves the tender crumb, making the muffins ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples to maintain moisture throughout baking.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins light and tender.
  • Bring all ingredients to room temperature for best texture.
  • Ensure accurate oven temperature for even baking and optimal color.
  • Optionally sprinkle cinnamon on top before baking for enhanced aroma and presentation.
