Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 176kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 small red apples peeled, cored and diced (~3/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 6 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups almond flour
- 6 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350 F. Prepare a muffin tin with muffin liners or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until broken down and incorporated well.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together egg whites, honey and coconut oil.
- Then add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not over stir. Fold in the chopped apples.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin cavities filling 3/4 of the way full. I used my finger to smooth the edges so the muffins would puff nicely.
- Bake 22-25 minutes until muffins are golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire baking rack to cool.
