  • Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients in two or three additions. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop the gluten and make the muffins tough.

  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. These muffins are perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or a healthy snack.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Grate the apple at the end to prevent discoloration. If you grate it earlier, toss it with a little lemon juice.
  • The flour helps the nuts distribute evenly in the muffins and prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Use any neutral cooking oil like olive oil or refined oil. Avoid strong-flavored oils like mustard oil or coconut oil.
  • You can grate the apple with or without the skin.

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the batter.
  • Fill the muffin cups almost to the top for nicely domed muffins.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. It should come out clean.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
