Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apple (about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and coconut sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples evenly into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
