APPLE ALMOND CRANBERRY GLUTEN FREE MUFFINS

There is something about a delicious ad scrumptious muffin. When eating "healthy," it may feel like eating a muffin that actually tastes good, is just not possible. In fact, I often tell my clients that the muffin from the local bakery is usually one of the worst choices (no protein, high sugar/carb). But that all ends right now with this recipe. The perfect muffin. Moist, Delicious, Healthy and Scrumptious.
Gluten Free. Made with all natural ingredients. Perfect snack, on the go, very kid-friendly and great with coffee or tea.
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup coconut flour can use any flour but this is why they are GF
  • ½ cup coconut oil or can use melted butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • ¼ tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 organic eggs room temp is best
  • 1 organic apple chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Mix the wet ingredients in a med bowl.
  • In another bowl; sift the dry ingredients.
  • Next gently combine the dry ingredients into the wet.
  • Mix until just incorporated. Place batter in muffin liners or a muffin tin.
  • Cook for about 25-27 mins. Keep your eyes on them. Let cool.

Notes

You can use any flour you like but coconut flour is how they are Gluten-Free.
You can absolutely sub in anything you want. For example, if you like raisins instead of cranberries or walnuts instead of almonds.
Make sure you use eggs at room temperature for a nice batter.
