Vegan Apple Cider Muffins


  • Author: Mikyla Meckelson
  • Total Time: 60 min approximately
  • Yield: 6 extra-large muffins 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Description

Soft, fluffy egg-free muffins full of chunky apples, apple cider, and cinnamon spice, topped with a crunchy oat streusel.


Ingredients

Scale

For the muffins:

  • 1½ cups apple cider
  • 1½ tsp Ener-G egg replacer, mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • ¼ cup melted vegan butter
  • ⅓ cup applesauce
  • 1 cup sliced apples (Granny Smith or other tart variety preferred)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ginger
  • ⅛ tsp cloves
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the cinnamon streusel topping:

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter, melted


Instructions

Make the batter:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an extra-large muffin pan with parchment paper or liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the egg replacer with the water, whisk, and set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
  4. In the large bowl used for the egg replacer, combine the wet ingredients: apple cider, applesauce, butter, brown sugar, cane sugar, and vanilla extract.
  5. Slice the apples into small pieces and add them to the large bowl with the cider mixture.
  6. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, or the muffins will be less fluffy and soft.
  7. Scoop a little less than ⅔ cup of batter into each extra-large muffin cup. Continue until all 6 are filled.

Make the streusel and bake:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients: brown sugar, cane sugar, cinnamon, old-fashioned oats, and melted vegan butter. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
  2. Sprinkle the streusel over the top of each muffin.
  3. Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. The muffins can be eaten at this point, but if you let them rest for 2 hours, they taste even better.
