Gluten-free apple muffins

Gluten-free apple muffins are a healthy and delicious treat that everyone can enjoy. Made with simple ingredients, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with juicy apples and warm cinnamon. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make these delightful gluten-free apple muffins.

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour
300g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1/2 cup olive oil
120g
1 egg
50g
2 apples
320g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure the cinnamon and sugar are evenly distributed.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and egg until thoroughly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Add Apples:
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fill Muffin Cups:
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
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.
8. Cool:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve:
Enjoy these delicious gluten-free apple muffins warm or at room temperature. They make for a perfect breakfast treat or a delightful snack!

Tips:

- Make sure to use gluten-free self-raising flour to keep the recipe entirely gluten-free.

- Grate or dice the apples depending on your texture preference. Grating will incorporate the apple more evenly, while dicing will give you delightful chunks of apple in each muffin.

- You can substitute the brown sugar with coconut sugar or another natural sweetener if you prefer.

- Don't overmix the batter as it can make the muffins dense. Stir until just combined.

- Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making gluten-free apple muffins is a simple and rewarding process that yields delicious results. With just a few ingredients and steps, you can enjoy these mouthwatering muffins that are perfect for any occasion. Give this recipe a try and delight in a healthy, gluten-free treat that you can feel good about sharing with family and friends.
