10/15/2018 Paleo Apple Cinnamon Streusel MuffinsNow that it's officially the middle of October, I figure it's time to start embracing Fall. And I'm going to say something that may not be entirely popular here so prepare yourselves... I just not that into pumpkin. I mean, I like it and all, and I'd never turn down a piece of chocolate chip pumpkin bread, but you won't find me running for everything pumpkin spice the second Labor Day is over. If you gave me the choice between a pumpkin treat and an apple cinnamon treat, I'd go apple every single time! And when I polled instagram on pumpkin vs. apple cinnamon, apple took the lead! That was all I needed to go full steam ahead with these Paleo Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins! (And btw, even if you're team pumpkin, I promise you'll be obsessed with these scrumptious Fall muffins!) If these muffins seem a bit familiar to you, it's because they're like the older, cooler, spicier cousin of my Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins that I make all summer long. Same delicious streusel topping with that's sweet, crumbly, and "buttery", but rather than berries inside, the batter of these muffins has been swirled with apples that have been sautéed in coconut oil, cinnamon, and maple syrup until they become perfectly soft and sweet. Seriously beyond delicious! And of course they're made with simple, unrefined ingredients like almond flour and coconut sugar, so they're a totally paleo-approved way to satisfy your muffin cravings (but believe me, no one would guess they're made with such healthy ingredients!) Ingredients 2 ½ cups almond flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp kosher salt ½ cup coconut sugar 1 tbsp vanilla 3 eggs (room temperature) ½ tsp lemon zest 1 tsp lemon juice 3 tbsp melted coconut oil ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk Streusel Topping: 1/4 cup almond flour 1/4 cup coconut sugar 1/3 cup chopped pecans 1 tsp cinnamon 3 tbsp coconut oil Apple filling: 1 apple, peeled & diced (I've used granny smith and fuji - pick your fave!) 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tbsp 100% maple syrup Yields 12 muffins
I highly recommend spreading some grass-fed butter or almond butter on the freshly baked, warm muffins, SO YUMMY! Nothing better than putting on your comfiest sweats, making a mug of tea, and digging into these warm muffins. Add the fact that your house will totally smell like Fall while that's happening, so it's just about the coziest moment you can imagine! Enjoy!
