Apple Crisp Muffins

Hello Everyone! I have found another great recipe that I wanted to share. These apple crisp muffins may be the best vegan muffins I have tried outside of a restaurant. They are SO easy, very delicious, vegan, and of course healthy. I used gala apples because it's what we had. Another note, this is adapted from one of my favorite sites (again), Happy Herbivore. She makes the suggestions to add the "streusel" topping but let me tell you now it's a necessity. You can thank me later :). Oh and don't worry if you don't have whole wheat pastry flour. Once again I used regular whole wheat flour (really need to get some pastry flour!) and they came out delicious! Enjoy!



Apple Crisp Muffins
adapted from Here

1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup rolled oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ cup raw sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
a dash of nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup apple, diced
¼ cup pure maple syrup


Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl whisk: flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices together. Add applesauce, sugars, maple, then stir until almost combined. Chop and add apples and combine. Fill muffin cups and sprinkle additional oats and brown sugar on top. Bake for 18-25 minutes (mine took 23). Enjoy!
