The Game Changer

Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Some goodies are sinful. Some goodies are indulgent. Most hurt my stomach. But these, these muffins are simple, straightforward and healthy. They are... the game changer.


I made these muffins this morning for my chicas, and I've eaten 3 already :)

I found the recipe online at addapinch.com and I changed almost every ingredient!
 I don't like to use sugar in my baking, nor do I ever use milk. Most of the time I go for straight up vegan treats, but this time I used the egg, why not?!

So, here is the recipe, I hope you enjoy!

Prep time: 5 mins                           Bake time: 30 mins                    Total: 35 mins

You can make 12 decent-sized muffins (fill muffin tin 3/4 of the way), or 8-9 big muffins (fill the tin up)


Ingredients:
  • 2 cups oat flour (+ 1 tbsp for apple)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 Gala apple, diced
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup coconut/almond milk
  • 2 tbsp apple sauce, unsweetened (I used the funky unsweetened flavour from Motts - carrot peach apple)
Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Get muffin tin ready with either oil or coconut oil or some form of butter.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Cut up apple and coat them with the extra tbsp of oat flour. Set aside. 
  4. Combine sugar with melted oil and whisk. Then add one egg at a time and whisk well. Add vanilla. This step should take 3 minutes of good whisking.
  5. Fold dry into wet slowly, alternating with milk. Go one dry, then one milk, then one dry, then one milk, then one dry and finally add the apple sauce. Throw in apples and fold.
  6. Spoon in the batter to the muffin tin. Bake for 30 minutes.

Good treats, happy tots!

Thanks for stopping by!
