Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh apples, peeled and diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute all raising agents and spices.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add Apples and Incorporate: Fold the peeled and diced apples gently into the wet mixture, ensuring even distribution without breaking them down too much.
  5. Bring Wet and Dry Mixtures Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples, preferably tart varieties like Granny Smith, for a nice contrast to the sweet muffin base.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture in the muffins.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure the oven temperature is accurate for perfect rising.
  • Let muffins cool slightly in the pan to set the texture and prevent crumbling when removed.
  • Use room temperature wet ingredients to encourage better blending and smoother batter consistency.
