Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Paper baking cups

Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized apples
  • 2 cups spelt flour (or substitute whole wheat flour or all purpose flour)
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Core and chop the apples (I prefer to leave the peel on for the added fiber and nutrients, but you can peel them if you prefer).
  • Add the spelt flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.
  • Add the unsweetened plant-based milk, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a separate mixing bowl, then use a whisk to mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients, then use a whisk to mix until combined.
  • Add the chopped apples to the mixing bowl and use a spoon to mix until combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly into a 12 cup muffin pan lined with paper baking cups.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out looking clean.
  • Let the muffins cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

  • Optional additions include half a cup of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts (stir them into the batter along with the chopped apples).
  • Store these vegan apple muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to six months.
