What Makes These Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins Incredible?
We have spent almost a year perfecting a basic muffin recipe that is ‘fool proof’.
At least once a week, we would make muffins, until we found the perfect combination of ingredients to achieve the right texture. We incorporated natural ingredients fluffy muffin each time. We also wanted to make a recipe that had whole food ingredients and zero refined sugar.
The base recipe of these muffins (without the apples) is so incredible. You can substitute any type of fruit or nuts in these muffins to make delicious pastry. Some examples of fruit and nut mixes to substitute are:
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Pumpkin
- Peaches
- Pears
- Walnuts
- Almonds
The recipe is so delicious, you’ll want to save it for later!
The warm spices and tart apple flavor come through! Some muffin recipes can be so filled with sugar, that they can leave a bad aftertaste in your mouth. These muffins are rich in flavor, from the oat flour, spices, and natural maple syrup. The flavors of the ingredients are so wholesome and compatible, the natural flavors are accentuated through cooking.
These muffins have the perfect amount of sweetness! Even without the addition of fruit or a crumble on top, the maple syrup adds the right amount of sweetness. These muffins have no refined sugar, so, that means no sugar crashes after breakfast!
DIY Hack for Serving Gorgeous Looking Muffins!
Muffin liners can elevate the presentation of your muffins!
Don’t have muffin liners? Tulip Muffin liners make baked muffins look so elegant when serving.
How to Make Tulip Parchment Paper Liners:
- Cut 5″ x 5″ squares of parchment paper. We use Reynold’s Parchment Paper, because it has grid lines printed on the paper. This will help you measure and cut your liners more precisely.
- Once all your parchment pieces are cut, place the paper into the muffin. Use the bottom of a 1/4 cup measuring cup to press the liners into the muffin molds. This will help give the liners shape before you pour the muffin mix.
- Pour your batter into the muffin liners. They will come out looking gorgeous!
