Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (about 2 medium) peeled and diced apples
- Optional: 2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk sugars, oil, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in diced apples. The batter will be thick.
- Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon sugar or coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake 18–22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For extra crunch, add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans. Make them bakery-style with a crumb topping. Swap apples for pears for a seasonal twist.
