Healthier Apple Muffins| Vegan Baking

Fall is officially here, and this means comfort food galore! I am not big on baking, but we went apple picking last weekend so I had to find something fun to do with all our Honey crisps! These apple muffins came out so good and are a bit healthier take on baking. All you need is one mixing bowl, a muffin tin, and about 25 minutes of your time. Let's get baking!

Ingredients: For 6 Muffins

1 Medium/Large or 2 Smaller Apples

1/4 Cup Vegan Butter (I use Country Crock Brand)

1/4 Cup Maple Syrup

1/4 Cup Sweetened Apple Sauce

1 Tsp Vanilla

1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

1 Tsp Baking Power

1 Tsp Baking Soda

1 Tsp Salt

2 Tsp Cinnamon

1/8 Cup Almond Milk (add more as needed)

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray your muffin tray and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, add in slightly melted vegan butter and maple syrup. Wisk together until well combined. Add in apple sauce and vanilla and mix together.

3. Using a sifter, add in flour. baking powder, baking soda, and salt. While stirring, begin to add in your almond milk until fully combined. It should begin to look like a baking mixture at this point.

4. Fold in your chopped apples and cinnamon. Once combined, spoon your mixture evenly into your muffin tray. (Option to sprinkle a little sugar or brown sugar on top here if desired)

5. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Top with maple syrup when warm and enjoy!
