PREPARATION
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a small ramekin or muffin cup by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the almond milk, honey, and diced apple to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined to avoid over-mixing, which could make the muffin dense.
- Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekin, filling it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool And Enjoy: Allow the muffin to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a bit of almond butter for added richness.

TIPS
Here are some tips for the preparation of a Single-Serve Apple Cinnamon Muffin:
- Dice Apples Finely: For even baking and a soft texture, chop the apple into small, even pieces.
- Avoid Over-Mixing: Stir the batter just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffin light and fluffy.
- Test For Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the centre to check; it should come out clean when the muffin is ready.
VARIATIONS
- Add Nuts: Stir in ½ tsp chopped walnuts or almonds for a bit of crunch.
- Sweetener Substitute: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly option.
- Spice Boost: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth and spice.
- Topping Idea: Sprinkle a pinch of oats or a dusting of cinnamon on top before baking for added texture and flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freezer: Wrap the muffin tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave before serving.
