  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apples peeled and diced

Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons
  • Muffin Pan
  • Muffin Liners
  • Cooling Rack
  • Freezer
  • Spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan with liners.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together until evenly combined.
  3. Beat melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and silky.
  5. Fold dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Stir diced apples evenly through the batter for juicy bites throughout.

Notes

For softer muffins, avoid overmixing and remove them promptly after baking. Bake slightly longer for firmer texture. Freeze cooled muffins tightly wrapped for quick breakfasts later. Pat diced apples dry lightly before mixing to avoid excess moisture. Add walnuts, oats, or caramel drizzle for flavor changes. Store muffins covered for up to four days.
