Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with coconut oil or a non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add in the honey, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the chopped almonds to the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free almond muffins as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
