Recipe For Coconut Flour Apple Cinnamon Muffins

If you haven’t had coconut flour muffins before, know that they turn out a little smaller and denser than your typical muffin. Still, they have that bready texture and aroma. They’re full of protein and fiber that really satisfy, not to mention all the great health benefits of coconut since these muffins use both coconut flour and coconut oil.

 Using either the muffin or pancake recipe as a base, try these mix-ins to change things up from time to time:

• Reduce the applesauce by ¼ cup and add an overripe banana before blending
• Stir in ½ cup toasted chopped nuts, such as walnuts, by hand
• Mix in ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries
• Add ½ cup chopped apples for a little extra texture
• Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder to make almost cupcake-like muffins
• Top with shredded coconut before baking for extra crunch

Delicious served with fresh apple cider!

Hearty breakfast muffins that can be personalized to your specific tastes.

Ingredients

• 5 eggs
• 1 cup applesauce
• ½ cup coconut flour
• 2-3 TBSP cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 2 TBSP honey or other sweetener of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Grease a muffin pan with coconut oil or use silicone muffin cups like these.
3. Mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl with an immersion blender or whisk until well mixed. I prefer the immersion blender so the coconut oil mixes evenly even if cold/hard.
4. Let sit 5 minutes. This helps the coconut flour absorb moisture and creates a better texture in the finished muffins.
5. Use 1/3 cup measure to scoop into muffin tins.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes until starting to brown and not soft when lightly touched on the top.
7. Let cool 2 minutes, drizzle with honey (if desired) and serve.

Notes

If you frequently need breakfast to-go, try making a large batch of these and freezing them.
