Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 2 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar Erythritol (or preferred light brown sugar)
- 1 Flax Egg (1 TB Milled Flax Seed + 2 TB Water)
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk*
- 1 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Cups Peeled, Chopped Apple (I used Fuji)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
- 2 TB Brown Sugar Erythritol (or preferred light brown sugar)
- 1 TB Granulated Erythritol (or preferred granulated sugar)
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flax and water. Set aside to gel.
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, sweetener, cinnamon, and mix. Then add in the prepared flax egg, applesauce, milk, vanilla, and mix everything together for a smooth muffin batter.
- Wash, peel, and roughly chop the apple into 1/4 inch pieces. Gently fold in the chopped apple to the muffin batter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon sugar topping.
- In a lined or greased standard 12-cup muffin tin, divide the muffin batter evenly into the cups and sprinkle the tops evenly with the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Remove and let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
*You may need an extra tablespoon or 2 or milk, depending on how watery your applesauce was.
