Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a regular muffin pan with non stick spray, or insert muffin papers in each cavity.
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix them so the spices, ground flaxseed, and flour are all well combined.
2 cup Flour, 1½ cup Flaxseed, 1 teaspoon Baking soda, 1 tablespoon Baking powder, 1 teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Allspice, ¼ teaspoon Cloves, ¼ teaspoon Ginger
In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and eggs.
1½ cup Milk, ½ cup Vegetable oil, ½ cup Maple syrup, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar, 2 Egg
Whisk to blend the eggs and liquid ingredients, then add the grated apple to the bowl, combining with the liquids.
1 large Apple
Add the blended dry ingredients to the large mixing bowl of dry ingredients.
Using a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go. Blend until just incorporated. It will be slightly lumpy, like thick pancake batter.
Using a measuring cup, fill each muffin cavity ⅔ full. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes at 350 F.
Remove from oven when the flaxseed muffins spring back to a light press in the center of a muffin in the middle of the pan. Allow to cook 5 minutes, then tip out onto a serving plate and enjoy!

Notes

To make these muffins gluten-free, use gluten-free flour.
To make these flaxseed muffins vegan, use a vegan egg substitute and non-dairy milk.
For a sweeter muffin, add ¼ cup of brown sugar to the batter.
No need to peel or core the grated apple, it's all healthy!
