Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups (200 g) apple approximately 2 medium, diced
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (240 ml) almond milk or soy milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ⅔ cup (140 g) dark brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉ / 190℃. Line a 12 hole muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Prepare the apples. Peel if desired, and dice them finely.
    2 cups (200 g) apple
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
    2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Mix almond or soy milk and vinegar in a jug to make the vegan buttermilk. Set aside to curdle and thicken slightly.
    2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 1 cup (240 ml) almond milk or soy milk
  • Stir together the brown sugar and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl.
    ⅔ cup (140 g) dark brown sugar, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) vegetable oil
  • Add the vegan buttermilk and stir until well combined.
  • Gently mix in the flour mixture using a silicone spatula, until the batter is barely combined (don't overwork it).
  • Add the diced apple and fold it into the batter. If desired, reserve some pieces of apple to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking.
  • Scoop the batter into the muffin liners. Take care not to overfill and leave at least ½ inch or 1cm space beneath the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes and test that a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean without any uncooked batter.
  • Cool the muffins on a wire rack for 30 minutes and then enjoy!
