Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.25 cups Grated apple (with skin, any variety)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 8 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Pulse a few times to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Add the pitted Medjool dates to the food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly and dates are well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Fold in the grated apple, chopped nuts, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add maple syrup, if using, to bind the mixture further and add sweetness. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or silicone cups.
Spoon the mixture evenly into 8 muffin compartments, pressing firmly to create dense muffins that hold their shape.
Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the muffins to firm up.
Once set, serve the raw apple muffins chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
