Apple Surprise Muffins

These muffins are excellent as a quick grab-n-go breakfast (you can make ahead and freeze in individual baggies), or as a dessert or snack.

Recipe: Apple Surprise Muffins (Makes 9 large muffins, or 10-11 smaller)

Apple “Surprise” Ingredients:

2 sweet apples, peeled, cored and diced in small pieces

1-2 TBSP coconut oil

2 tsp cinnamon

Muffin Batter Ingredients:

2 cups almond flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

4 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1 ripe banana, mashed

1/4 cup honey *Note: you can add more honey if you would like the muffins sweeter–I didn’t make them too sweet this time around for Superman

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners or grease with coconut oil.

In a skillet, combine “surprise” ingredients and cook over medium heat until apples are soft. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, melted coconut oil, banana and honey. Add to dry ingredients.

Fill each muffin tin about 1/2 way full with batter. Put a spoonful of the “surprise” mixture in each tin. Top with remaining batter to fill up each tin:

 

Sprinkle each muffin with a bit of cinnamon. Bake in oven for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tastes great with a cup of coffee!
