Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffins Recipe
These moist, fluffy muffins combine sweet apples, cozy cinnamon, and wholesome ingredients into a plant-based treat that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease your muffin tin like the kitchen boss you are.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a second bowl, mix applesauce, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla until it looks like smoothie fail.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed—no overbeating unless you’re baking out feelings.
- Fold in grated apples and optional nuts if you want some crunch therapy.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Fill about ¾ full. Top with cinnamon sugar if you like sparkle.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and smug.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Or just eat one straight from the pan.
