Apple And Pecan Muffins Gluten Free Or Not Food

HEALTHY APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn't require any grease).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend well with a whisk. Add the grated apple (if it is dripping wet, gently squeeze it over the sink to release some extra moisture) and chopped apple. Stir to combine.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt, applesauce and vanilla and mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). The batter will be thick, but don't worry! Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake muffins for 13 to 16 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
• Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

APPLE AND PECAN MUFFINS (GLUTEN-FREE OR NOT )

Steps:

• Grease or line a 12 hole muffin tin and pre-heat oven to 170°C /340°F (180°C if not a fan-forced oven)
• Combine all of the dry ingredients, except apple, in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add apple and lightly blend only until the apple is coated. Set aside.
• Add all of the wet ingredients to a jug and whisk well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and lightly stir until just combined. Do not beat or over-mix as this will result in a tough dry muffin.
• Pour into muffin cases and top each muffin with a pecan and sprinkle with sugar and ground cinnamon.
• Bake approximately 20 minutes or until done.
• Cool on trays.
• Gluten-free muffins are best made the day of baking and can be frozen. Wam for a few seconds in the microwave to enjoy the next day.

GLUTEN FREE APPLE CINNAMON PECAN MUFFINS

• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling the muffin cup almost to the top. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle the tops, and bake for 15-18 minutes for standard muffins or 12-17 minutes for mini muffins, until muffins are browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins from the pan and continue to cool on the rack.

GLUTEN-FREE DATE PECAN MUFFINS
