| lucylox February 9 | Apple muffins are great at any time of day - they're delicious for breakfast, make a great snack, or even work as a nice pudding if warmed and served with custard. These dairy and egg-free muffins have a wonderful light texture and the apple add a surprising depth of flavour and some juicy interest in the light fluffy sponge. I've chosen to make these just flavoured with cinnamon but you could leave that out, adding vanilla instead. Or how about a handful of juicy sultanas to give an old school baked apple vibe? The beauty of this recipe is that you can take that tired apple that's been sitting in the fruit bowl for weeks (and we all have one of those don't we?) which has seen better days and probably wouldn't be the most satisfying snack, and easily turn in into a batch of spectacular muffins. Now that's what I call a great way to avoid food waste π This is also one of those magical one bowl recipes - no excessive washing up required with this one and it's great to make with the kids too π Let me know what you think?  Apple Muffins Dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soya-free, sesame-free, vegetarian and vegan - 150 g plain flour
- 50 g sugar (caster or soft brown)
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 50 g margarine (melted)
- 40 ml milk (dairy-free)
- 45 g yoghurt (dairy-free)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 eating apple (peeled and cored and finely chopped)
- 3 tsp crunchy sugar like demerara
-
Preheat the oven to 180℃ -
Place the paper liners in the muffin tray -
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, bicarb, baking powder, salt and cinnamon -
In a separate bowl or jug, mix together the melted margarine, milk and yoghurt -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently until combined, don't over mix -
Stir through the chopped apple pieces -
Divide the mixture between the muffin cases, you want them to be about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the top with the crunchy sugar -
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden, well risen and a knife comes out clean. -
Cool on a wire rack A nice variation is to add a handful of sultanas  | | | |
