Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffins (Whole Wheat Flour)

I love muffins for a quick and easy grab-and-go breakfast or snack. They’re great to have on you for a post (or pre) gym snack, or if you are running your kids around to playdates and extracurricular activities (maybe in 2021?) and need something that will hold them over until dinner. These Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffins are flavourful, healthy, and so yummy!

Why you’ll love these Apple Cinnamon Muffins: 

• You can make them in just 30 minutes 
• They freeze well, so they’re great for batch cooking
• Perfect for on-the-go snacks or breakfasts
• Easy to make & get the kids involved in the kitchen

What is the best vegan flour? 

There are so many different flour alternatives out there, and I find that sometimes it can be complicated to swap between different flours in recipes because often the ratios aren’t 1:1 when you are working with say, coconut flour versus all-purpose flour. For this recipe, I used Bob’s Red Mill 100% Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour. 

As you know, I’m a big fan of Bob’s Red Mill products. I use them a lot in my baking and cooking because I can trust their ingredients and the quality of their products. They have a variety of different flours you can choose from but I find this flour is the perfect healthy alternative for these muffins and adds a great texture. 

Bonus!

This flour has a protein content of 13-15% and is organic

How do you make Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffins? 

If you’re baking for a quick snack or on-the-go meal, you likely don’t want to spend forever in the kitchen trying to make a complicated recipe. So these Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffins are super simple to make. All you do is:

1. Preheat your oven and coat your muffin tray (or add paper liners) to prep
2. Next, in a large bowl, you’ll add corn starch and water, stir it up, then add applesauce, sugar, coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla
3. Once that is mixed, add your whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir it all together!
4. Your last ingredient before baking is grating your apple and adding in your walnuts (optional) – gently fold these in
5. Pour that batter in your tin & bake!

Enjoy!

Tip: Use a 2 tbsp ice cream scoop to help with keeping all your muffins even & the same size!
