Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour or oat flour for a nut-free version
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large apple any variety, grated and drained / squeezed of excess water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee, melted, plus more for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325ºF. With melted coconut oil or ghee, grease 9 cups of a muffin tin. Set aside
    2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, whisking to combine.
    2 cups almond flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon sea salt, 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • In a separate bowl, toss the grated apple with the lemon juice.
    1 large apple, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • To the apple mixture, add the eggs, honey, and coconut oil or ghee and stir to combine.
    3 large eggs, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until thoroughly combined.
  • Using a large ice cream or cookie scoop, fill muffin cups ¾ full.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of center muffin comes out clean. Cool on wire rack

Notes

  • I usually wrap the cooled muffins individually in plastic wrap and freeze them. Defrost in the microwave for 60 seconds on 50% power, then toast and spread with ghee.
