Apple Strudel Muffins

More muffins!! And this time they joined in with some apples and cinnamon. Yummy!! If you try it, post in the comments on what you think. 💚💚

Dry Ingredients: 

• 1 cup all purpose white flour 
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder 
• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
• 1/4 tsp salt 
• 1/8 tsp baking soda 

Wet Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup of date syrup (recipe posted below)
• 2 TBSP olive oil  
• 1 cup of chopped peeled Granny Smith apples 

Preheat oven to 375 F. 

Date Syrup: 

• 1 cup of pitted dates (soak in hot tap water for 10 minutes)
• 3/4 cup of water 

Put the above ingredients in a high powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth. 

While you are waiting for oven to preheat, add dry ingredients to bowl first, followed by wet ingredients. Stir the batter until it is all blended  together (a few bumps in the batter are ok). Fold in the apples at the end before putting batter in the muffin tin. If you are not using muffin liners make sure to oil the muffin tin prior to adding batter.  Add batter to muffin tin and do not exceed 3/4 full. Before putting them in the oven, I also topped each muffin with crushed walnuts and coconut sugar. 

Once oven is preheated, bake for approximately 28 - 30 minutes, this is how long I baked mine. I think it was because I had larger pieces of apple in each muffin; however, check yours at the 20 minute mark. A good way to tell whether or not your muffin is done is to stick a knife in the middle of the muffin, if it comes out clean, it is done. 

Let muffins sit until cooled and then remove from muffin tin.

Enjoy!!
