Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.75 cups Organic granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Vegan butter or coconut oil, cold and solid
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle and create vegan buttermilk.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the vegan buttermilk, sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold the diced apples into the batter gently to ensure even distribution.

Step 7

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

Step 8

To make the streusel, combine the brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, vegan butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel mixture generously over the top of each muffin.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy these delicious vegan apple streusel muffins!
