I always try to save a couple to pull out in a snack emergency (totally a thing).
If you’re a muffin fan then do check out these bran and fruit muffins. If you’re looking for options that are free from refined sugar you can also try these date, carrot and apple muffins or banana chai muffins.
APPLE CRUMBLE MUFFINS
- Servings: 12
Crumble topping
- 75 g cake flour
- 50 g brown sugar
- 2.5 ml (½ tsp) ground cinnamon
- 60 g butter, room temperature
Muffin batter
- 12 paper muffin cases
- 180 g light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 125 g butter, melted
- 200 ml milk
- 240 g cake flour
- 7.5 ml (1½ tsp) baking powder
- 7.5 ml (1½ tsp) ground cinnamon
- 1.25 ml (¼ tsp) fine salt
- 200 g apples, skin on and coarsely grated (about 2 medium apples)
- icing sugar, for dusting (optional)
1.) Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Arrange muffin cases in a muffin tray and spray lightly with baking spray.
2.) To make the crumble topping place the flour, sugar, cinnamon and butter in a bowl. Rub together until the dry ingredients are coated in flour and starting to clump together. Set aside.
3.) To make the batter place the sugar and eggs in the bowl of a freestanding mixer (or use an electric beater) and whisk on high speed for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, butter and milk. Whisk until combined.
4.) Sift in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until just combined. Squeeze the excess juice from the apple. Discard the juice and add the apple to the batter. Fold in until evenly combined.
5.) Divide the batter between the muffin cases. Sprinkle the crumble over the muffins. Bake for 20 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Optional: dust with icing sugar before serving.
