Cuisine: Baked Goods
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until all dry ingredients are well incorporated and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and honey. Whisk until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Always use room temperature eggs for better ingredient integration and a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter – lumpy is good! Overmixing can lead to dense, tough muffins.
- For extra flavor, consider adding optional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
- Use a light hand when folding wet and dry ingredients to keep the muffins tender.
- Check muffins a few minutes early – almond flour can brown quickly, so watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
- For best texture, let muffins cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- These muffins freeze beautifully – wrap individually for quick, healthy grab-and-go breakfasts!
