Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 eggs

- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 5 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a skillet, on medium heat, add butter. Let it melt and then add the chopped apple. Stir occasionally for 10 minutes as it becomes tender. *Make sure you stir to avoid burning.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda and sea salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil.
- Combine both mixtures together. Once it is mixed together, fold in the apples.
- Fill a muffin pan with liners. Fill each liner with batter about three quarters of the way full. Sprinkle with cinnamon. (Optional)
- Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes. Once a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean, you are ready!
