Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
Step 5
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently after each addition until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the diced apples using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 9
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
