Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and coconut sugar. Whisk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the applesauce, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

Combining Mixtures

  1. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Fold in Apples and Walnuts

    Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) into the batter until evenly distributed.

Baking

  1. 6

    Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  3. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
