Description
Deliciously spiced apple muffins that are perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar added)
- 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Apples can be any variety you like, but tart apples work well.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of walnuts or pecans.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
