Meal prep friendly apple muffins
These amazing vegan apple muffins are freezer friendly, which just makes them in even better in my opinion. They can be frozen after baking and cooling so you always have a healthy snack ready and waiting for you. These muffins can just be reheated or defrosted and they will be just as delicious as when they were freshly baked.
What type of non-dairy milk should you use for the gluten-free healthy vegan apple muffins?
You can use your preferred type of non-dairy milk. I am partial to almond milk as it keeps the baked goods moist and delicious for longer and completely eliminates the needs for any type of butter substitute. Another good option is to use coconut milk, but oat milk and soy milk also works very well in this recipe.
Rice milk isn’t quite creamy enough and won’t make the muffins as moist, but it can still be used if you prefer it.
Baking with apples
These delicious gluten-free apple muffins can be made in several ways. I’ve tried making them with half of the apples grated and the rest more roughly chopped to get those larger apple chunks as seen in the pictures…it works out really well, but the dough becomes a little more crumbly this way.
The fan favourite option is to grate all the apples, because it gives the dough a more even, slightly fudge and absolutely delicious apple cinnamon cake taste and texture.
What to do if yo are allergic to nuts
If you are allergic to nuts, you can easily substitute the walnuts with coconut flakes or pumpkin seeds. You could also just leave out nuts and seeds altogether if you prefer. The muffins will still taste amazing.
