Apple Muffins with Oil
Airy apple muffins sprinkled with nutmeg and crushed walnuts
Equipment
- Cake Mixer
Ingredients
- 1½ cup canola oil
- 1½ cup sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp nutmeg freshly grated
- 1½ cup apples peeled and grated
- 1 cup walnuts shelled and coarsely crushed
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 3500F.
- Beat the canola oil with sugar. You will not get a fluffy batter at this stage, so just beat for 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one by one until light and fluffy. Beat until there are air bubbles.
- Sieve the flour with the baking soda and salt and fold into the mixture until combined.
- Add the peeled and grated apples with the cinnamon and nutmeg and just fold in until combined.
- Line a muffin tray with baking cups and pour the batter into the cups. Do not fill the cups up to the brim. Sprinkle crushed walnuts on top of the batter in each cup and add some to the batter.
- Bake for 32 minutes or until a cake skewer comes out clean.
Notes
- Pour the muffin batter directly into greased muffin tins if you do not have baking cups.
- Pecans are a good substitute for walnuts; cinnamon goes well with pecans. Add a little more cinnamon powder if you are using pecans.
