Sourdough Apple Muffins

How do you make this recipe perfectly you ask? Easy, do not over mix the muffins. Have you ever tried to bake muffins and they come out chewy and dense? Well, that’s because you over mixed.

It’s important to mix all the wet ingredients in one bowl, and the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Then fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until they’re just combined. You should still see some clumpy pieces of flour.

Cinnamon Sourdough Apple Muffins Recipe

This is such a festive recipe for autumn. Apples are in season and they’re the perfect healthy ingredient for fall baking recipes. I love that this recipe incorporates cinnamon too. Cinnamon and apple are a match made in autumn-spice heaven. Using whole grain flours gives these muffins a hearty, rich flavor too. This wholesome texture gives me all the fall vibes, since fall is naturally a time of harvest.
