Apple and walnut muffins

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The muffin is a member of the 'quick bread' family: no need for proving, just quickly mix and bake. This autumn version utilises the moisture of grated apple and the oiliness of walnuts to stay soft for days. The scent of cinnamon while baking makes the whole flat feel homely.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Muffin tray
  • Paper cases
  • Two mixing bowls (dry and wet)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Eggs
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Nuts (Walnuts)

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line the tin with paper cases.

Tip: High temperature ensures the muffin rises quickly and gets a nice 'dome'.
2 ✓

In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, walnuts.

3 ✓

In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, add the oil, milk and grated apple (with its juice!).

Tip: Oil keeps the sponge moister than butter, which hardens when cold.
4 ✓

Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Fold together with a fork or spatula with a few movements.

Tip: It doesn't matter if it's lumpy! Overmixing results in chewy, rubbery dough (overdeveloped gluten structure).
5 ✓

Spoon the batter into the cases (fill approx. 3/4 full).

6 ✓

Bake for 20-22 minutes. Check with a skewer.

7 ✓

Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Tip: If left in the hot tin, the muffin bottom will get soggy from its own steam.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the muffin turn out hard?
You overmixed the batter! As soon as wet and dry ingredients meet, gluten starts to work. Only mix until the flour disappears, no longer!
