Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1 large egg
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk (any kind)
1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups diced apples (peeled if preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut sugar, egg, Greek yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in the diced apples.
- Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for best texture and flavor.
For a crunchier texture, add chopped walnuts or pecans.
Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a sweeter crust.
Muffins freeze well—wrap individually and thaw as needed.
To make it vegan, use a flax egg, non-dairy milk, and coconut yogurt.
