Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing the muffin cups to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt ensuring they are evenly combined for consistent flavor and texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Blend Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Add Apples and Walnuts: Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts gently, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps preserve their texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey on top before baking.
- Ensure apples are diced finely to distribute evenly and soften during baking.
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
