These apple cinnamon muffins are filled with plenty of wholesome ingredients, but are also extra fluffy and moist thanks to the almond flour. Warm apple pieces, cinnamon, and nutmeg round out the seasonal flavors. The streusel topping is optional here, but adds a nice crunchiness to the top to balance the soft center.

    Muffins
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 3/4 cup cane and/or coconut sugar
  • 66666667/100000000 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 small apple, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Streusel (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (double it for extra cinnamon flavor)
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners, or use a silicon muffin tin.
  2. Step 2: To prepare the streusel, combine the melted butter, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Use your hands to mix it until it reaches the consistency of small pebbles - it will feel quite crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Step 3: Mix all muffin ingredients, except the apple pieces, together in a bowl until no lumps remain. Fold in the apple. Pour the batter into the muffin tins.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the muffin tops with the optional streusel, about 1 small spoonful per muffin.
  5. Step 5: Bake the muffins at 350°F for 15 minutes. At the 15 minute mark, raise the temperature up to 400°F for another 8 to 10 minutes (this will help give the muffins a better domed shape). Cool fully before handling. For jumbo-sized muffins, you will need to cook the muffins 5 to 10 minutes longer. If doing so, cover the muffins with foil if the tops are over-browning.
  6. Serve: Take a bite and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Note 1: To make your own homemade baking powder, try combining 1 tablespoon cream of tartar + 1/2 tablespoon baking soda + 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot starch. Stir well before using.

Note 2: For an alternative to the Paleo flour blend, check out the streusel ingredients in the Low-Carb recipe dropdown. The low-carb sweetener may be substituted with an equal amount of coconut sugar.
