These muffins are a delightful vegan treat, combining the warmth of cinnamon with the sweetness of apples.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly grease a muffin tin.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Sift the dry ingredients together to avoid lumps.
In a separate bowl, mix the soymilk and vanilla extract.
Use room temperature soymilk for better mixing.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the chopped apple pieces gently.
Ensure the apple pieces are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents sogginess.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a spread of vegan butter or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
Pair with a hot beverage for a cozy treat.
