How to Make Whole Grain Or Not Apple Buttermilk Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour (see notes for whole wheat adjustments), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until thoroughly blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
  6. In a small cup, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Spoon batter into greased or lined muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy warm! These muffins freeze well – double or triple the recipe and freeze for later!
