Ingredients

wet ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil 100g
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup 155g
  • 2 tablespoons honey 40g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup apple sauce 115g
  • 1/2 cup yogurt 115g

dry ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

additionally:

  • 2 cups apples chopped into small very cubes 240g

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Add all the wet ingredients into a large bowl (eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, honey, vanilla, apple sauce, yogurt).
  • In another bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon).
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Whisk until almost combined.
  • Peel and core the apples. Cut them into very small cubes. Add the apples to the muffin batter. Stir gently with a spatula until evenly distributed. Don't overmix the batter.
  • Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the liners.
  • Bake for 23 minutes or until a cake tester or a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes on a cooling rack then enjoy!

Notes

  • How to measure flour: I’m using the “spoon and level method” so 1 cup of flour in my recipes weighs 125g. Fluff the flour by stirring it in the bag/flour container with a spoon. Spoon the flour and sprinkle it into your measuring cup. Sweep off the excess flour with the back of a knife.
  • You can also sprinkle the muffins with chopped walnuts.
  • What kind of apples to use: choose sweet and soft apple variety. I used Gala apples.
  • Calories = 1 muffin (1/12 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
