Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Maple Syrup pure
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Grated Apple
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts

Equipment

  • Grater
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. While it’s heating, grab a muffin tin and either line it with cupcake liners or grease the wells with a little coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. This will be your dry mixture. Make sure to whisk it well to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined, as this will be the wet mixture.
  4. Now, pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; you want to combine them just until you see no more flour.
  5. Before you finish mixing, add in the grated apple and walnuts. Fold these into the batter gently, ensuring an even distribution without overworking the mixture.
  6. Next, fill each muffin tin well all the way to the top with the batter. Don’t worry about them overflowing; that’s what makes them nice and fluffy!
  7. Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake at 425 degrees for the first five minutes. This initial high temperature helps them rise beautifully.
  8. After five minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for an additional twelve to eighteen minutes. Keep an eye on them, and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they’re ready!
  9. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  10. Finally, serve your Healthy Apple Muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect as a quick breakfast or a delightful snack!
