Delicious Apple Walnut Muffins Recipe for a Sweet Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup grated apples (peeled)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

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

    Ensure the oven is fully heated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    Sifting the flour can make the muffins lighter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add oil, vanilla extract, and grated apples.

    Mix until well combined to ensure even distribution.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Overmixing can lead to tough muffins.
  5. Add Walnuts

    Fold in the chopped walnuts gently.

    Reserve some walnuts for topping if desired.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin

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

    Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
  7. Bake Muffins

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even results.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve warm for the best taste.
