Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup applesauce
Add-ins
- 1 apple, diced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to warm up while you prepare the muffin batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the maple syrup and applesauce until well blended.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Add Apples: Fold in the diced apple pieces evenly throughout the batter to distribute the fresh apple flavor.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use grated apple instead of diced for extra moisture and a softer texture.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain the fluffiness of the muffins.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
