Gluten-Free Apple Muffins
Servings 9 muffins
These healthy apple muffins are super moist and taste like apple cake, but contain no refined sugar. They're packed full of healthy fats and fibre and make the perfect healthier snack or treat for the whole family! {Gluten-free, dairy-free & paleo}
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 1/2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet ingredients:
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 5 tbsp refined coconut oil melted
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups peeled finely chopped apple
- 1/2 cup grated apple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 9 silicone muffin cups or paper baking cups.
- In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients together, breaking up any lumps.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, up until the chopped apple.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped and shredded apple.
- Evenly divide the muffin mixture between the silicone baking cups, filling almost to the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow for muffins to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
Notes
- Be sure to dice up the apples finely so that there aren't huge apple chunks in the muffins. Also, make sure that the apple is evenly distributed among each of the muffin cups so you get all of that apple goodness in each bite!
- If you’d like to add a little crunch, feel free to add some chopped pecans or walnuts to the muffin batter or top of each muffin.
- I recommend using silicone baking cups or paper baking cups since these muffins have more of a crumbly consistency.
- Store the muffins in the fridge for no longer than four days or freeze them, as they will spoil quickly at room temperature.
