Ingredients:

Apple buttermilk muffins are a delightful treat combining the sweetness of apples, the tanginess of buttermilk, and the warmth of cinnamon. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins are both flavorful and moist, offering a satisfying bite every time.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, oats, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the muffins stay light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on top of each muffin for a sweet and slightly crunchy topping.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your apple buttermilk muffins warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair well with a cup of coffee or tea.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is softened before mixing to get a smooth batter.
- Dice the apples into small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly within the muffin.
- You can add a bit more cinnamon or even a pinch of nutmeg for an extra warm flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can increase the sugar slightly or top each muffin with a sprinkle of brown sugar before baking.
- Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Mix the batter just until combined to avoid overworking it, which can lead to tough muffins.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they retain their shape and texture.
These apple buttermilk muffins are a delicious way to enjoy the classic flavors of apple and cinnamon in a fluffy, moist muffin. Easy to make and delightful to eat, they are sure to become a household favorite. Serve warm with a pat of butter or enjoy them as they are for a cozy and comforting treat.
