You’ll never miss your favorite coffee shop muffins again with these grain-free apple cinnamon muffins. A quick homemade applesauce is paired with other healthy ingredients for a super easy breakfast that is perfect for busy mornings. Using a sweet apple such as Red Delicious means you don’t have to add any sugar to this Paleo muffin recipe; and you can leave the skin on for even more nutrients.

Ingredients:

• 2 small apple(s) cored and diced
• 1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
• 5 large egg(s)
• 1/2 cup(s) coconut flour
• 2 tablespoon(s) cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon(s) nutmeg, ground
• 1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
• 4 tablespoon(s) coconut oil melted
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) sea salt
• 1 package(s) paper muffin liners

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
2. Put the apples in a saucepan with the lemon juice and cover. Add enough water to cover half. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until apples are broken down. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Leave in the blender and let cool for 5 minutes.
3. When the apples are warm, add the remaining ingredients to the blender and puree on low until you have a thick batter.
4. Pour the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each tin about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until muffins are well browned and tops are firm. Cool before removing from pan.
