Apple muffins are sweet and fluffy with an irresistible taste. They are perfect for a light snack and can be consumed with a cup of tea.
1.5 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
3/4 cup rolled oats, divided and 1 tablespoon cinnamon, divided
1 teaspoon ginger,1 teaspoon allspice and 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup maple syrup
1.25 cups applesauce
1 cup diced apple (1 medium apple)
1/2 cup Tante's coconut oil, half melted and half room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add 12 muffin cups to a muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, mix the 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup rolled oats, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon with the ginger, allspice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Melt 1/4 cup of Tante's coconut oil with the maple syrup. In another bowl, combine the maple syrup and Tante's coconut oil mix with the applesauce and vanilla.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Mix in the diced apple.
In another medium bowl, add the remaining 0.25 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon along with the sugar and 0.25 cup room temperature coconut oil. Cut the Tante's coconut oil into the remaining ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until it's evenly combined and a crumbly streusel topping forms.
Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Then top with a thin layer of streusel.
Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean (if your oven is uneven, reverse the pan halfway through). Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins and place them on a cooling rack to fully cool.
