Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the liquids are fully blended.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a pinch of brown sugar for added sweetness and crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Buttermilk Apple Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
