Instructions

  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with the batter.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding chopped apples to the batter.
  • These cupcakes pair well with a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
