Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup real maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 cup super fine almond flour
- 3/4 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Other Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup chopped apple
- 1 tablespoons melted coconut oil or grassfed butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare 12 muffin tins with liners.
- Combine Wet Ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Combine Dry Ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine (which helps break up any clumps).
- Add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients and stir to combine.
- Fold in the apple chunks.
- Add the melted butter and gently stir to combine.
- Divide the mixture between 12 muffin tins, filling about 1/2-3/4 of the way full.
- Feel free to add extra little chunks of apple on top or some rolled oats if you want. If you are adding chunks of apple, just make sure they are pretty small, otherwise they may result in the middle part of the muffin to sink.
- Bake for 22-24 minutes on the middle rack.
- Remove and let cool 5-10 minutes then place on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Storage: feel free to store on the counter in a sealed container for about 24 hours or so then I would recommend storing in the refrigerator since there are no preservatives in these.
- Whole Wheat Flour: feel free to use 1 cup whole wheat flour in place of both the almond flour and cassava flour.
