Ingredients
Muffins
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp ginger
- pinch nutmeg
- ½ cup grated apple, excess water squeezed out
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
Topping
- ⅔ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold butter
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin pan with paper liners.
- Prepare the crumb topping first. Chop butter into small cubes. Add butter and all other ingredients to mixing bowl.
- Use your hands or a fork to break up the butter and mix the ingredients. It will be crumbly. Place in fridge while you make the muffins.
- Peel and grate a large apple. Use paper towels to squeeze out all excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
- Then, add remaining muffin ingredients and grated apple. Stir until combined.
- Spoon batter into lined muffin pan. Fill about ¾ of the way to the top of each muffin liner. Sprinkle crumb topping over each muffin.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool muffins for 10 minutes in pan then carefully transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Crumb topping can be made with chilled coconut oil. I recommend butter but use coconut oil if needed.
- The crumb topping dough will be crumbly and not uniform.
- Sprinkle, do not press, crumb topping onto muffins.
- Feel free to use any variety of apple. I used honey crisp because they are sweet.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake!
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store in fridge for up to 5 days.
