Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 cups (375g) plain/all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150g) caster/granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk*
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 small apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin cases, then set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and light in colour. Add the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients in thirds and whisk in until just combined – do not overmix. Fold in the apple chunks. The mixture will be thick and somewhat lumpy.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan (filling to the tops), and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
