Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 apples, shredded* (any variety)
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup soy milk, (plain and unsweetened; you can use any preferred plant-based milk or regular milk)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with non-stick muffin liners and set aside.
- Make the chia eggs by combining chia seeds and water. Set aside until it forms a gel-like consistency, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Then, in a medium bowl, combine vanilla, maple syrup, shredded apples, olive oil, soy milk, and chia eggs.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine, careful not to overmix.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the muffin batter into the muffin liners, filling each one a little below the brim.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Then, turn down the heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for approximately 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin.
Notes
*You don't need to peel the skin off of the apples before shredding. I just shred them with the skin on! You can peel them first if you'd like to though.
