These eggless apple spice muffins feature fresh apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a buttery cinnamon streusel topping. An easy, cozy fall baking recipe.
There’s something about fall that makes me want to fill the kitchen with the warm, comforting aromas of freshly baked muffins. These Eggless Apple Spice Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel are just the kind of treat that makes a crisp autumn morning feel a little cozier. With fresh apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, every bite brings those classic fall flavors together in a soft, tender muffin topped with a buttery, crumbly streusel.
A Cozy Fall Muffin with All the Warm Spices
Apples are one of my favorite ingredients to bake with during the fall season. Whether you’re picking apples, bringing home a bag from the farmers market, or looking for ways to use up the apples growing in your backyard, these muffins are a delicious way to celebrate the season.
Freshly chopped apples add little pockets of sweetness and moisture throughout the muffins, while cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger bring warmth and depth. The cinnamon streusel topping adds a sweet, buttery crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft muffin underneath.
These muffins are eggless, making them a great option for anyone who prefers to bake without eggs. Greek yogurt helps keep the crumb moist and tender, while a splash of milk brings the batter together.
Easy Enough for Everyday Baking
You don’t need a special occasion to make these Apple Spice Muffins. They’re simple enough for a weekend baking session, a quick breakfast on the go, or an afternoon snack when you’re craving something homemade.
Serve them warm with a cup of chai, tea, or your favorite fall drink. They’re also lovely packed into lunchboxes or shared with friends and family at a fall gathering.
The muffins are easy to make ahead, too. Bake a batch over the weekend and enjoy them over the next couple of days, or freeze a few for whenever you need a little taste of fall.
Tips for Delicious Apple Spice Muffins
- Choose the right apples: Honeycrisp and Fuji add natural sweetness, while Granny Smith apples bring a pleasant tartness.
- Dice the apples finely: Small pieces distribute more evenly throughout the batter, giving you apple in every bite.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Gently folding the wet and dry ingredients together helps keep the muffins tender.
- Don’t skip the streusel: That sweet, crumbly topping adds wonderful texture and makes these muffins feel bakery-worthy.
A Little Taste of Fall
Between the fresh apples, warming spices, and crunchy cinnamon streusel, these Eggless Apple Spice Muffins are a simple way to bring the flavors of autumn into your kitchen. They’re comforting without being complicated, easy to share, and just as enjoyable alongside your morning chai as they are for an afternoon treat.
If you have apples waiting to be used, preheat your oven and give these muffins a try. Your kitchen will smell amazing, and you might find yourself reaching for this recipe all season long!
Eggless Apple Spice Muffins with Cinnamon Streusel
Ingredients
For the muffins
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- - 2 tsp baking powder
- - ½ tsp baking soda
- - 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
- - ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- - ¼ tsp ground ginger
- - ¼ tsp salt
- - 1 cup finely chopped apples
- - ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- - ½ cup milk
- - ⅓ cup olive oil
- - 2 tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon streusel
- - ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- - ¼ cup brown sugar
- - ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- - 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Prepare the streusel. Combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips or a fork until coarse crumbs form. Set aside. Refrigeration is optional.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Make the batter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Gently fold until almost combined, then fold in the finely chopped apples. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
- Fill the muffin pan. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle the streusel generously over the tops.
- Bake. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
