Both of these apple recipes are free of eggs, dairy, and trans fats, making them perfect to serve to vegans, people with allergies, or just about anyone who likes muffins. However, you may substitute dairy milk for the soymilk if you wish.

Be sure to use applesauce with no added sugar, since it’s sweet enough as it is.

Mouthwatering Apple Muffins

These delicious muffins are loaded with cinnamon, vanilla, and wholesome chunks of apple. This recipe is a great way to use up apples that are a little past their prime, since the baking process makes them moist and fluffy. You can vary the spices as you like, by adding (or leaving out) the allspice, nutmeg, or ginger.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of white flour
• 1/2 cup of white sugar
• 1 1/2 tsps of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp of allspice, nutmeg or ginger
• 1 cup of vanilla soymilk
• 2 Tbsps of applesauce
• 2 Tbsps of canola oil
• 2 tsps of vanilla
• 1 large or 2 small apples, peeled and chopped

Prepare to Bake:

Lightly spray a muffin pan with cooking spray, or fill the pan with cupcake liners. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Make the Apple Muffins:

1. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and spices together in a large bowl.
2. Mix the soymilk, applesauce, canola oil, and vanilla together in a small bowl or large measuring cup.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir.
4. Peel and chop the apples and add them to the batter. Stir just long enough to mix the apples into the batter.
5. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean.

Let the apple muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan.
