These paleo apple muffins are fuss-free and completely maple sweetened. They get extra apple flavor from grated and diced apples. They are the perfect snack for kids lunches or afternoon treat with a cup of tea! This is a basic recipe so feel free to add more ingredients like walnuts, seeds, dark choc chips or coconut! I also made my own almond meal by blending up 1 1/2 cups almonds as I prefer the crunchy texture so feel free to do this too! These muffins are super moist and tasty!

minutesIngredients
1 1/4 cup almond meal (or almonds blended up finely)
3 Tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp flaxseeds
2 eggs
5 Tbsp coconut oil
1/3 cup maple syrup (or rice malt syrup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated apples
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a muffin pan with 6 muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Set this aside. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add the dry mix to the wet and mix just until combined. Gently fold in the grated apples.
- Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling them almost full, and bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 4.
