Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
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 and the tops are golden brown.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your cinnamon & apple muffins warm or at room temperature. They make a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp apples for the best flavor and texture in your muffins. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp varieties work well.
- Make sure to finely chop walnuts to ensure even distribution throughout the muffins for a pleasant crunch in every bite.
- To get a consistent mixture, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together before adding them to the dry ingredients.
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the muffins before baking.
- Don't overmix the batter; mix until just combined to prevent the muffins from becoming tough.
- Test the muffins for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, they are ready!
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, as this helps maintain their shape.
With your cinnamon and apple muffins now baked to perfection, you have a batch of moist, flavorful, and aromatic treats ready to enjoy. These muffins not only taste delightful but also fill your kitchen with the comforting scent of baked apples and cinnamon.
