    Meet these Jumbo Apple Cinnamon Muffins! They're fluffy bakery style muffins with a medley of apple and cinnamon throughout, topped with more brown sugar and cinnamon. If that wasn’t enough, they’re gluten free, nut free, egg free and easily vegan!

    It’s no surprise I love apple flavored baked goods!

    The combination of apple and cinnamon…dreamy!

    I could eat my Baked Apple Cider Donuts every day of the week. I wish I was exaggerating but it’s true! 

    Biting into one just reminds me of autumn and leaves changing, cool crisp mornings, grey skies and apple picking.

    These muffins do that for me too!

    Usually, apple cinnamon muffins have chunks of apples, which is delicious. 

    However, my daughter does not like chunks of anything in her muffins…unless it’s chunks of chocolate! I totally understand.

    So I made these delicious Jumbo Apple Cinnamon Muffins with zero chunks of apples. 

    So you’ll have this beautiful apple cinnamon flavor with nothing but a fluffy muffin. Perfection!

    TIPS FOR MAKING JUMBO APPLE CINNAMON MUFFINS 

    MIX THE INGREDIENTS

    Whisk together your dry ingredients- In a large bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

    Whisk together the wet ingredients and brown sugar- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, apple sauce, milk of choice, vegetable oil and vanilla. Whisk until combined. 

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry- Slowly add them in a little at a time and whisk them together. Once it gets too thick, switch to using a spatula. Mix until combined.

    FILL THE MUFFIN PANS

    Fill the muffin tin to the top- Line your muffin pan with liners. If you don’t have liners, grease each muffin well in the tin. Use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin tins to the top. If you’re using the jumbo pan, use all the batter to fill 6 cups. You want them filled to the top because they are going to rise straight up.

    Smooth the tops- Use the back of a spoon or a small knife to smooth the tops of the muffins. 

    Add more brown sugar and cinnamon- Sprinkle more brown sugar and cinnamon on the tops of each muffin before they go into the oven.

    BAKING TIME

    Bake the muffins- Bake the muffins until they are risen and springy to the touch. About 25-28 min. 

    Let the muffins cool- Let them cool almost completely in the muffin pan before trying to take them out. If you have paper liners, the muffins will come right out. If you don’t have liners, once they’re cool, use a small spatula to lift them out of the pan. 

    Serve the muffins- You can eat these warm and or at room temperature. Once they’re cool, store the muffins in an airtight container on your counter, or wrapped in aluminum foil and then placed in a zip top bag.

    CAN I USE STORE BOUGHT APPLESAUCE?

    Yes! You can! 

    If you’re not using homemade applesauce, make sure you buy a gf/vegan applesauce that is made with cinnamon.

    CAN THESE JUMBO APPLE CINNAMON MUFFINS BE VEGAN?

    Yes! Follow these three simple steps below to ensure the muffins are vegan:

    • Use a gluten free flour that’s free from dairy– Some gluten free flours contain dairy. Make sure to read the label.
    • Swap out the milk with a non dairy milk- For vegan, use a non dairy milk of choice.

    I can’t say enough good things about these muffins.

    They’re a delicious combination of apple and cinnamon and a quick and easy breakfast.

    Gluten free, nut free, egg free and easily vegan, these muffins will be sure to wow anyone that eats them!
