Guiltless Apple Muffins

By:  Maria



For those quick on-the-go breakfasts, a tasty pick-me-up snack, or even a post-workout recovery fuel; you will enjoy the tasty flavor and be happy knowing the ingredients are top notch!

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups almond meal*
4 omega-3 enriched eggs
1 organic apple finely chopped
1 very ripe banana
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup water
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 heaping tbsp cinnamon

Pre-heat oven to 350. Peel and mash the banana using a fork. Put in large mixing bowl. Using a hand held chopper if you have one, finely chop the apple, and add to the bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix by hand. The batter will not be super thick, but more like a cake batter. Using a bit more coconut oil, grease a muffin tin. Fill the tins about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 15-17 minutes. You will know they are done when you can insert a toothpick into the middle of a muffin and it comes out clean.

Enjoy!

*I have also used a mix of coconut flour and almond flour - experiment to see which you like the best!

Maria,

Do these muffins need to be refrigerated after baking? How long do they last? This might be a silly question, but they are so moist and different from regular muffins I have to ask.
