Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Diced apple (peeled and cored)
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth and uniform.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apple and raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
