• 1 1 large egg – Room temperature eggs work best.
• 1/2 cup 1/2 cup milk (120 ml) – Almond milk or oat milk can be used as a dairy-free option.
• 1/4 cup 1/4 cup vegetable oil (60 ml) – Melted butter can be substituted for a richer taste.

Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes | Total: 35 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: You can prepare the batter the night before and bake in the morning.

Steps to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. This ensures your muffins won’t stick and makes for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. The mixture should look light and fluffy, and the aroma of cinnamon will start to fill the air.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and vegetable oil. This wet mixture should be smooth and creamy, making it easy to combine with the dry ingredients.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. This will keep your muffins tender and moist.
5. Fold in the diced apples and walnuts if you're using them. The apples should be evenly distributed, adding a lovely texture and sweetness to your muffins.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This helps them rise nicely and gives them room to expand.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You'll know they're done when they’re lightly golden on top and smell heavenly.
8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This step helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
9. Serve warm with a pat of butter or enjoy them plain. They’re perfect for breakfast or as a snack any time of day.

Make It Perfect

• To keep your muffins extra moist, avoid overmixing the batter.
• You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust.
• If you want to make mini muffins, reduce the baking time to about 12-15 minutes.

Mix It Up

• Add raisins or dried cranberries for a fruity twist.
• Try using different spices like nutmeg or allspice for a unique flavor.
• For a healthier version, substitute half the sugar with applesauce.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
• Pair with yogurt for a balanced breakfast.
• Enjoy alongside a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
