Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

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

In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven 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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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