Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced (firm variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Non-dairy or regular milk (e.g., almond milk or whole milk)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apples, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy! These muffins are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
