Cinnamon Apple Muffins

I was inspired by a yummy recipe I found online for cinnamon apple muffins and changed things up a bit...

The Ingredients

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 cup ground flax seeds

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 diced apples

1 cup brown sugar

1 stick unsalted butter

2 eggs

1 tbsp vanilla extract (the good stuff)

1/2 cup soy milk

cinnamon

nutmeg

allspice

pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and spices. Use some flour to lightly coat the diced apples. Set them aside. Coating the apples with flour will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the batter and will help them adhere to the batter throughout when it is poured. In a separate bowl, cream the sugar and butter together. Add vanilla to the mixture. Then, add the eggs, one at a time. Add the flour mixture a little bit at a time to make sure it is evenly mixed in. Add the milk and mix well. The batter should be a nice, sticky consistency. Lightly butter a muffin tin and bake for 35 minutes. Enjoy! 

Side note: I used a primarily vegan recipe, but used regular butter. You can easily substitute it with coconut butter.

I used a brown sugar and melted butter coating to add a touch of sweetness. So yummy!
