- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

- Gradually fold in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Feel free to add chopped apples or walnuts for added texture.
- These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a couple of days.
