Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated sweetener of choice (such as erythritol)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly to blend the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Add the granulated sweetener and unsweetened applesauce to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Gently fold the diced Granny Smith apple into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious low carb apple cinnamon muffins as a snack or breakfast treat!
