ALMOND FLOUR APPLE MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
• Mix almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until no lumps remain.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract on a bowl until emulsified.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and mix until fully combined.
• Fold in the sliced apples.
• Divide the batter evenly in the muffin tin.
• If preferred, top each muffin with 3 slices of apples (like I did in the pictures) and sprinkle them with walnuts.
• Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the top of the muffins turn golden brown.
• Let it cool for 30 minutes before serving.

ALMOND APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees, then core an apple. Blend apple(s) until finely chopped, but not pureed. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then fill muffin cups until 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes around 10 muffins, depending on size.
• I usually make these muffins on a Sunday, then have then on hand throughout the week. I use around two tablespoons of honey for mine, though this creates a semi-savory muffin. If you like your muffins on the sweet side, then use more honey.
• I use the butter from grass-fed cows in mine, but if you'd like to avoid dairy entirely, then two to three tablespoons of melted coconut oil would be a fine substitute. Also, the amount of apples you use depends on the size and taste. I typically use one large apple. I also slightly undercook mine (a toothpick doesn't come out completely clean) because I find that they get a little dry if cooked through. If you prefer a drier muffin, then cook around 23 minutes.

APPLE-ALMOND MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, almond butter, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in apple and 1/4 cup almonds., Fill 15 greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with remaining almonds., Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.

ALMOND FLOUR APPLESAUCE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine wet ingredients in bowl of food processor. Pulse to beat eggs well.
• Add dry ingredients. Mix well.
• Fill paper muffin cups almost full. (Because of the lack of gluten, these muffins do not rise like wheat flour based muffins do.).
• Bake on center rack of oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack. Store in refrigerator. These freeze extremely well.
• Try the following variations in place of the applesauce and cinnamon: 1 banana and 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 whole orange (including peel) and 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 whole zucchini or summer squash (including skin) and 1 teaspoon dried tarragon. Pulse fruits into a smooth paste before adding the other wet ingredients.
