Almond Apple Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, almond butter, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in apple and 1/4 cup almonds., Fill 15 greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Sprinkle with remaining almonds., Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Serve warm. Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, thaw at room temperature or, if desired, microwave each muffin on high for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in microwave (~30 seconds on low heat). Throughly mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Spray muffin tin with non stick cooking spray or use cup cake liners. Pour mix into muffin tins, make sure not to over fill (~3/4 full); this should make 12 muffins (2 muffin trays). Place one tray in the oven and cook for 12 minutes. Make sure not to overcook as the muffins will become very dry. Once cooked remove from the oven and cook the second muffin tray.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease or line a 12 muffin tin.
• Whisk the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk the milk and egg until beaten. Add the applesauce and mix to combine.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry. Add the chopped apples and optional nuts and stir to combine.
• Pour batter into muffin tins.
• Mix crunch topping ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle topping over unbaked muffins.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees, then core an apple. Blend apple(s) until finely chopped, but not pureed. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then fill muffin cups until 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes around 10 muffins, depending on size.
• I usually make these muffins on a Sunday, then have then on hand throughout the week. I use around two tablespoons of honey for mine, though this creates a semi-savory muffin. If you like your muffins on the sweet side, then use more honey.
• I use the butter from grass-fed cows in mine, but if you'd like to avoid dairy entirely, then two to three tablespoons of melted coconut oil would be a fine substitute. Also, the amount of apples you use depends on the size and taste. I typically use one large apple. I also slightly undercook mine (a toothpick doesn't come out completely clean) because I find that they get a little dry if cooked through. If you prefer a drier muffin, then cook around 23 minutes.
