Healthy Cinnamon Apple Muffins
These muffins are scrumptious with bits of apple and amazing cinnamon flavor. Simple to make and perfect for any time of day, your home will have that fall aroma that's so inviting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour + 2 teaspoons for coating the apples
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon + 1/2 teaspoon for coating the apples
- 1 large apple chopped small
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk I used almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F and spray muffin tins with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and set aside.
- Dice your apple. Then in a separate bowl, toss them with 2 teaspoons flour and ½ teaspoon cinnamon until the apples are coated in the mixture. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and sugar. Add one egg at a time, incorporating each egg before adding the other. Mix in the vanilla.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples and scoop the mixture into your prepared muffin tins, filling almost full.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 16 minutes in my oven.
