Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 cup plant-based yogurt (plant-based)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 medium fresh apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped smoked turkey bacon

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure even distribution in each muffin.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon (natural), and natural gelling agent. This ensures a well blended dry mix for even baking.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based yogurt (plant-based), maple syrup (natural), melted coconut oil, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and fragrant.
  4. Bring It Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold in the chopped apples and smoked turkey bacon pieces if using. Fold just until combined to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Fresh apples provide the best texture and flavor; avoid canned for optimal results.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough muffins; fold ingredients until just combined.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when muffins are baked through.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to customize sweetness according to preference.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and even baking.
