Step-by-Step Guide on How to Make Apple Muffins👩🏽🍳
Step 1: Prepare Your Muffin Pan🧁
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tray with paper liners or grease lightly with butter.
- This ensures your apple muffins come out easily and stay soft.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients🍏
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix well. This dry blend is the backbone of our homemade apple muffins — it ensures an even rise and fluffy crumb.
Step 3: Whisk the Wet Ingredients🍯
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and yogurt.
- This mixture adds moisture and flavour, making your apple muffins irresistibly soft.
Step 4: Combine and Fold🍎
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Gently fold the batter until just combined — don’t overmix.
- Add the diced apples (and nuts or oats if using). Every bite will now have juicy apple bits and a hint of crunch.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection🔥
- Scoop the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Insert a toothpick into the center — if it comes out clean, your apple muffins are ready!
Step 6: Cool and Serve🧈
- Let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Serve warm with butter or honey drizzle. The aroma will tempt everyone around! 😋
