What makes these Apple Muffins so light and airy?

How to make an Apple Muffins

So, why wait let’s get to baking!!

Begin the recipe by making the crumb topping. In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon powder, and almonds. Mix until crumbly. Set it aside.

For these apple almond muffins, I recommend using a deliciously green Granny Smith apple. These apples are among the low-sugar, low-carb fruit and are packed with fiber. Peel, core and grate the apple. Set it aside.

Shift the dry ingredients in a bowl. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together. Finally, stir in the grated apple. Fill your muffin liners and bake for 22-25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

These muffins taste great on its own But for an extra punch of sweetness, feel free to drizzle these muffins with a sugar glaze.

How to store Apple crumb muffins?

These muffins have fruit in it – apple and applesauce. Therefore, it needs to be refrigerated.

These muffins will stay well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Unlike the standard muffins – the ones made with butter, these apple muffins will not dry even after refrigerating.
