Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Grated apple
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Applesauce
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the grated apple, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the almond milk and lemon juice to the wet ingredients and mix well. The lemon juice will curdle the milk slightly, creating a vegan buttermilk effect.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender muffins.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
