Equipment
- 1 12 cup muffin tray
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour
- ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup apple sauce
- 1 egg
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 apple diced small
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin cup pan with silicone baking cups.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl - the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- Then combine the wet ingredients in another, smaller bowl - the applesauce, egg, milk and maple syrup.
- Add the combined wet ingredients into the larger bowl of dry ingredients and stir until almost combined.
- Then add the diced apple into the muffin batter and stir a couple more times until combined fully.
- Divide muffin batter between 12 muffin cups. It's about ¼ cup of muffin batter for each muffin cup.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 12 - 15 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Muffins are good for up to 3 days on the counter in an air-tight container.
You can freeze these muffins for up to 3 months. Defrost on the counter or quickly in the microwave.
The preferred method for measuring dry baking ingredients is weighing for the highest accuracy. But these muffins are such an easy recipe and can stand a little imprecision.
Instead of weighing the flour, take a measuring cup and spoon the flour into from the bag of flour, instead of jamming the measuring cup into the bag of flour. Scooping up the flour into the measuring cup to then measure within that same cup can cause flour to be compressed into the measuring cup. This can give you more flour than you need.
