Wet Ingredients

Crumb Topping

  • 3 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil if dairy-free)
  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free rolled oats (or 2 more tablespoons almond flour)
  • 1 cup walnuts (very finely chopped)
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place 10 unbleached muffin cup paper liners in a standard muffin tin. If you're not using muffin cups, grease the muffin tin with coconut oil or butter.
  • Grate the apple until you have 1.5 cups. Wrap the shredded apple in cheesecloth (or a clean dish towel) and squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the crumb topping ingredients and set them aside.
  • Add the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and shredded apple to a food processor and mix until smooth.
  • Add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon salt and mix again.
  • Divide the muffin batter between ten cups. I use about 2 heaping tablespoons per cup.
  • Pat the batter down into rounded heaps with lightly oiled hands, then divide the crumb topping between the cups. Pat it down so that it’s smooshed into the batter a little.
  • Bake the muffins for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch.
