  • 1/2 cup sunflower oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Notes

Substitutions

  • You can sub maple syrup for agave
  • You can use olive oil or avocado oil instead of sunflower oil

Tips

  • It’s okay if the batter has some chunks but you want it relatively smooth
  • These will be good with any apple you choose, but the flavor of the apple really does make a difference in the overall taste of the muffin. Try to use more tart varieties.  Granny Smith and Snow have been my favorite to use.
