'tis the season. Yes, 'tis the season for an abundance of apples. Peaches are less sweet and becoming more scarce...but the farmers markets are boomin' with apples galore! Partner this piece of seasonal evolution with my buddy Matt seeking some sweet "cake-like" treats that won't hinder his stellar CrossFit performance. He didn't want paleo, but they ended up being paleo anyways. Go figure. Here we go.....
Apple Cinnamon Raisin Muffins
3/4 cup sifted coconut flour
6 eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
handful of raisins
1/2 peeled, diced apple
Preheat your oven to 350 (surprise, surprise). I used my silicone muffin "tin," so no greasing needed. Mix all dry ingredients in one big bowl and whisk together. Grab another small bowl and mix all of the wet ingredients (sans raisins and apple). Mix in the wet mixture with your dry mixture. Whisk/stir until there are no lumps. If you're not familiar with baking with coconut flour, the texture may seem kind of weird. It's kind of thick, quite stiff, and spoonable. Go ahead and mix in your raisins and diced apple (feel free to get creative here...currants, nuts, etc). Evenly distribute into your muffin cups, and bake for 25-30 minutes. I checked mine at 25, and they were still not quite ready, so I gave them another 2-3 minutes. Just keep an eye on them, and when they're browning slightly, and you can toothpick test them, you're good!
Share this season with all of your paleo (and even non-paleo) friends! Simple, minimal ingredients, and delish! #sharethewealth
These look absolutely delish! I wish I had someone to bake these for me :)
