Description

Sometimes, gluten free muffins are heavy and dense. These muffins are light but still moist. With no gluten, grains, or dairy, they make a great choice for breakfast or snack!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup walnut butter (or any smooth nut butter)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup organic apple (peeled, finely diced, divided)
Instructions
  1. Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add 10-12 parchment paper muffin liners to a regular size muffin tin.
  2. Step 2
    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the 3 eggs. Then, add the walnut butter and honey, mixing with a spatula until smooth.
  3. Step 3
    Add the remaining ingredients through the cinnamon, stirring to incorporate.
  4. Step 4
    Add 3/4 of the diced apple and stir to combine.
  5. Step 5
    Pour the batter evenly into the muffin liners (2/3 full for 10 muffins or 1/2 full for 12 muffins) and sprinkle the remaining chopped apple on top of the muffins.
  6. Step 6

    Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out cleanly. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 15 minutes, then serve. Transfer leftover muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days or freeze.
