I like to snack on apple slices slathered with almond butter. That's the flavor combo that inspired these muffins. Add a dash of almond extract to boost the nuttiness. -Kelly Alesso, Chicago, IL

APPLE ALMOND MUFFINS



Apple Almond Muffins image

I had some almond flour (labeled as almond flour/meal) that I wanted to try, but I couldn't find a recipe that was really what I wanted, so I whipped this up patching a bunch of recipes together. Surprisingly, these came out great! If you don't have any almond flour, substitute regular flour. I had some ground nut/sugar/cardamom topping hanging around that I used, but feel free to leave the top bare or add the optional crunch topping listed below.

These muffins are great for a fast breakfast. I also put them in lunch boxes instead of cookies. They become even more moist the next day from the apples.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups ground almonds (almond flour or meal)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine wet ingredients in bowl of food processor. Pulse to beat eggs well.
  • Add dry ingredients. Mix well.
  • Fill paper muffin cups almost full. (Because of the lack of gluten, these muffins do not rise like wheat flour based muffins do.).
  • Bake on center rack of oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack. Store in refrigerator. These freeze extremely well.
  • Try the following variations in place of the applesauce and cinnamon: 1 banana and 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 whole orange (including peel) and 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 whole zucchini or summer squash (including skin) and 1 teaspoon dried tarragon. Pulse fruits into a smooth paste before adding the other wet ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use almond flour for a gluten-free option: Almond flour is a great substitute for all-purpose flour in these muffins, making them a great option for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
  • Add a streusel topping for extra flavor: A simple streusel topping made with oats, butter, and brown sugar adds a delicious crunch and sweetness to these muffins.
  • Use a variety of apples: Feel free to mix and match different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady, to create a unique flavor combination.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are cooked through.

Conclusion:

These apple almond muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist crumb, sweet apple filling, and crunchy almond streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying baked good, give these apple almond muffins a try.
