Moist and utterly delicious these vegan apple crumble muffins are topped with a crunchy and fragrant cinnamon crumble.
Ideal for breakfast, snack or dessert they can be enjoyed with coffee and tea. Nut-free they are also the perfect seasonal add-on to kids’ lunch boxes.
This is my first apple recipe of the season and looking at our apple tree’s bumper crop, I am going to have to be quite creative this autumn.
Apples are one of my favourite fruits so I always like to make a batch of my apple compote, apple chips, or some apple turnovers. At this time of the year, I also like to go foraging for blackberries and make of few jars of my apple & blackberry jam that we can enjoy over winter.
How to make these apple crumble muffins
Muffins are always a big hit in our house and this recipe is no exception. I like to use some tarty cooking apples and balance the sweetness with raisins and cinnamon.
First of all, you will need to soak the raisins into boiling water and prepare the chia eggs. If you wish you can replace the 2 chia eggs with 2 flax eggs or with 2 organic eggs. They all work equally well here.
Second, you can make the crumble topping in a pan by melting some dairy-free butter and mixing in some flour, demerara sugar, jumbo porridge oats and cinnamon.
The rest of the recipe is very straightforward. All you have to do is sieve the dry ingredients together and then mix in the wet ingredients. Make sure you whisk the chia eggs with the oil, vanilla and non-dairy milk until there are no lumps and all is well combined.
The last step is to fold in the grated apples (I leave the skin on) and the drained raisins.
Once you have carefully divided the mixture between 12 muffin baking cases, you can top each muffin with some crumble. Bake the muffins in the oven for 20-25mins et voilà! Job done and ready to enjoy.
Delicious!
