Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoon water
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or bread flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup applesauce
- ½ cup almond milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups apples, chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the flaxseed meal with the water and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to make a flax egg.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger and salt. Stir to combine.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix the applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract and the flax egg from step 1.
- Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a fork to mix until the wet and dry ingredients are just combined (be careful not to over mix).
- Fold in 1 ½ cups of the diced apples, reserving the remaining ½ cup for topping the muffins later.
- Pour batter into a 12 cup muffin pan lined with non-stick muffin liners. Bake in an oven preheated to 400℉ for 5 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 350℉, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the remaining chopped apples and continue baking for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove muffin pan from oven and let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
