Pumpkin Apple Muffins
I am in love with these muffins. I think they are quite possibly the best muffins I have ever made. The idea of combining apple and pumpkin came from Megan’s post. Muffins are really great for the kids’ snacks and for lunch boxes so I almost always have some kind of muffin on hand. I have made pumpkin muffins and apple muffins but never combined them.
I looked at Megan’s recipe and also a recipe from Babycakes to come up with this recipe. This recipe uses whole wheat flour, maple syrup for the sweetener, and is egg and dairy free. The result is a super moist muffin bursting with fall flavor.
I think I’ll be making another batch this week.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup organic canola oil or melted coconut oil
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup almond, soy, or rice milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 2 cups apples, chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp Earth Balance
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line muffin tin with paper liners
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Add the oil, maple syrup, milk, pumpkin, and vanilla to the dry ingredients.
- Fold in the hot water and the apples until evenly distributed.
- Spoon batter into muffins tins.
- Mix together ingredients for streusel topping and sprinkle over batter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean.
- Remove to wire rack to cool.

I just got pumpkin to make pumpkin raisin muffins, but apple sounds even better. Yum! Pinning this!
These look fabulous! Pumpkin muffins are my kryptonite this time of year. If I make them, they are gone within the hour. I love the addition of apple in these!
These were gone pretty quickly too!
How many muffins does this recipe make?
It will make about 12 muffins. Updated: sorry, it makes 12 really big muffins or 24 regular sized ones
I added 1/4 tsp cloves to the mix. They turned out amazing!
Cloves would be a great addition. So glad you liked and thank you for commenting to let me know you tried them!
