Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup applesauce
- ⅓ cup real maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups super fine almond flour
- ¾ cup cassava flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¾ cup fresh apple cored & chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted (sub melted butter)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare 12 muffin tins with liners.
- Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add 3 eggs, 1 cup applesauce, ⅓ cup real maple syrup, 3 tablespoons almond butter, & 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
- Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, add 1 ¼ cups super fine almond flour, ¾ cup cassava flour, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon cardamom, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon allspice, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves. Whisk to combine (which helps break up any clumps).
- Combine: Add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients and stir to combine.
- Apples + Coconut Oil: Fold in the chopped apples and 1 tablespoon coconut oil(melted).
- Bake: Divide the mixture between 12 muffin tins, filling about ½ - ¾ of the way full. Option to add extra little chunks of apple on top or some rolled oats, if you want. Make sure they are pretty small, otherwise they may sink to the middle part of the muffin. Bake for 22-24 minutes on the middle rack.
- Cool + Serve: Remove and let cool 5-10 minutes in the pan and then place on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Whole Wheat Flour: option to use 1 cup whole wheat flour in place of both the almond flour and cassava flour.
- Apples: honeycrisp apples were used in testing, but feel free to use any variety of apples.
- Storage: keep in an airtight container on the counter for about 24 hours or so & then I would recommend storing in the refrigerator, since there are no preservatives in these.
