Nut-Free Apple Oat Muffins (11 servings)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with liners or use a silicone muffin tray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, flax seed, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the milk, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Mix until just combined, then fold in the apple.
4. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5. Let the muffins cool in the tray for 10 to 15 minutes before removing and transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

How to Measure Flour

Fluff the flour first and then spoon it into your measuring cup. Use the back of a knife to level off the flour. Do not scoop the flour with your measuring cup or pack the flour in and/or tap it to get more flour in. This will result in extra flour being used, which will make your muffins dry and crumbly.
