Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh apples

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and finely chop fresh apples into small pieces to ensure juicy bursts in the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and well blended.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  5. Add the Apples: Carefully fold the chopped apples into the batter to distribute them evenly without squishing.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into a greased muffin tin or lined paper cases. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Fuji or Granny Smith for the best texture and balanced tartness.
  • Stir the batter gently and do not overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and oil for better batter consistency.
  • Preheat your oven to ensure perfect rise and golden muffin tops.
  • Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to prevent sogginess.
