How to Make Apple Muffins

• Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
  Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
• Mix Dry Ingredients
  In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• Mix Wet Ingredients
  In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the maple syrup, Greek yogurt, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Whisk these ingredients until smooth.
• Combine Mixtures
  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. A few lumps are fine. Gently fold in the chopped apple.
• Fill Muffin Cups
  Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Each cup should be about three-quarters full.
• Bake Muffins
  Bake for 18-22 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean.

  Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
