Description

Soft, moist, and perfectly spiced, these Mini Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Muffins are ideal for cozy mornings, lunchboxes, or anytime snacks—without gluten, dairy, or eggs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups finely diced apple (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin pan with liners or lightly grease.
  2. Mix the flaxseed and water and set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar to create vegan buttermilk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce, coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, flax egg, and vegan buttermilk.
  6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry and stir just until incorporated. Fold in diced apples.
  7. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Using a small cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 14–16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerated for a week, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat slightly before serving for best flavor and texture.
