Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cuppeeled and chopped apples (180g (2 small apples))
  • 2 tbspgranulated sweetener (for macerating)
  • 1 tsplemon juice
  • 1 cupalmond flour (100g)
  • ¼ cupcoconut flour (30g)
  • ¼ cupgranulated sweetener (50g (use 1/3 cup / 67g for a sweeter muffin))
  • 2 tbspground flax (14g)
  • 1 ½ tspbaking powder
  • 2 tspcinnamon
  • ½ cupcream cheese (120g)
  • 3eggs (large)
  • 2 tbspapple cider vinegar
  • 1 tspvanilla extract
  • 1 tbspgranulated sweetener
  • ½ tspcinnamon

Directions

  1. 1

    Optional, but recommended: Macerate the apples. Peel, core and chop 2 small apples. Put them in bowl with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 2 tablespoon sweetener. Stir and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out the liquid.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit / 160C fan.

  3. 3

    Blend the eggs and sweetener for 2 minutes until they are frothy and have doubled in volume.

  4. 4

    Add the wet ingredients - cream cheese, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract. Blend until combined.

  5. 5

    Stir together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to the egg mix and blend until a smooth batter forms. It will be quite liquid at first, but firms up within 2 minutes as the flax and coconut flour soak up moisture.

  6. 6

    Drain all liquid from the bowl with the chopped apples (it will be about 2 tablespoons). Fold the apples into the muffin batter and fill the batter into 8 paper muffin cups.

  7. 7

    In a small bowl, stir together sweetener and cinnamon. Scatter over the muffins and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
