Delicious and moist gluten free apple cider muffins made with fresh apple cider and warm spices. Perfect for breakfast or a snack.
2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 cup apple cider
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg until smooth and slightly fluffy.
Add the apple cider, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture. Stir until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the finely chopped apple pieces evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
