Cinnamon Streusel Apple Cider Muffins image

The streusel topping is what turns this from a good apple muffin recipe to a great apple muffin. The muffin itself is moist with a very mild flavor from the apples. But that streusel... oh my. Full of cinnamon, it bakes to a nice sugary crunch and really complements the apple flavors in the muffin. Just delicious!

APPLE & CINNAMON MUFFINS WITH A COCONUT WALNUT STREUSEL RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Apple & Cinnamon Muffins with a Coconut Walnut Streusel Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by karenluvslife

Number Of Ingredients 15

STREUSEL:
1 1/3 cups ground sunflower seeds, pepitas and flaxseed or almond meal
1 cup coconut sugar or xylitol
2 apples, peeled and grated
1 1/2 tablespoon coconut flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspooon baking powder
2 free range eggs
2 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup walnuts, rolled oats, pepitas or sunflower seeds
1/3 cup coconut, shredded
2 tablespoon coconut sugar or xylitol
1 large teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoon maple syrup or rice syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Steps:

  • Note: If you don't want to go to the trouble of making the streusel then add the 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/3 cup coconut to the muffin mix at stage 1. Preheat oven the 350°F. (180°C) Add ground seeds or almond meal, sugar, coconut flour, cinnamon and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the grated apple and stir through making sure that there are no clumps and the dry mix is evenly distributed through the grated apple. This will ensure that the apple doesn't end up in clumps when baked. The mix will be very wet. Make a well in the centre then add the egg and oil. Mix them together quickly to break up the eggs and combine with the oil Quickly fold the egg mixture through the mix then spoon or pour into the muffin pans. Bake for 15 minute then add the streusel and bake for another 5 minutes or until done. It's ok to take them out of the oven, just be quick! If not adding the streusel then bake for 20 minutes or until done. Add the walnuts, coconut and cinnamon to a blender or food processor and light pulse to combine and break up the mixture until it resembles course bread crumbs. Alternately you can chop the walnuts into small pieces then add them to the coconut. Add the syrup and oil/butter the pulse again until they cover the whole mix. If you're not using a blender then distribute evenly with your fingertips until the mixture is moist and sticky. Use the seed mix for the flour and sunflower seeds, pepitas or oats for the streusel.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter streusel topping, add an extra 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can bake the batter in a 9x13 inch baking pan for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • To make the muffins ahead of time, prepare the batter and streusel topping as directed. Store the batter in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw the batter overnight in the refrigerator before baking. Sprinkle the streusel topping on just before baking.
  • For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the batter.

Conclusion:

These apple cinnamon streusel muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their tender crumb, sweet apple filling, and crunchy streusel topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
