These gluten-free apple muffins are ultra moist, flavorful and have a delicious streusel topping! They also have a dairy-free option. These are the best apple muffins I've ever had!

Ingredients

For the muffins:

  • 1 cup (138 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice optional
  • 1 large egg 50 grams, out of shell
  • 1/3 cup (106 grams) honey
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) oil see notes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) yogurt dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 cup (120 grams) apples diced and peeled, preferably from baking apples like Granny Smiths (I needed one medium / large apple and diced chunks about 1/4" in size)

For the streusel:

  • 1/2 cup (69 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 7 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (47 grams) coconut oil melted, see notes
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Mix the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
    7 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (47 grams) coconut oil, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (69 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a muffin tin with 9 muffin liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
    1 cup (138 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free 1-to-1 Baking Flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients.
    1 large egg, 1/3 cup (106 grams) honey, 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup (60 ml) yogurt
  • Add the flour mix to the wet mix. It just needs to be combined, so be careful not to overmix.
  • Then fold in the apples, being careful not to overmix.
    1 cup (120 grams) apples
  • Fill the liners with the batter, filling them about 2/3 full.
  • Divide the streusel between the muffins. If you like being exact, that's 23 grams per muffin. It's a little more than a tablespoon.
  • Bake for about 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes and then turn out very carefully onto a wire rack to cool.
  • When the muffins are completely cooled, place them in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for about 4 days or refrigerate for 5-6 days.

Notes

  • You can use any kind of neutral oil. If you use coconut oil - and for the streusel in particular - I recommend refined so the muffins don't taste coconutty. If using olive oil, a lighter one would be best.
