Servings: 12 muffins
Author: Gemma Stafford
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup (6 oz/170 g) unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅔ cup (8 oz/225 g) honey
  • 2 large eggs , at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (2½ fl oz/71 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups (6 oz/170 g) Almond Flour Baking Mix
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup (1½ oz/43 g) gluten-free old-fashioned oats
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together applesauce, honey, eggs, oil, and vanilla.

  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the almond flour baking mix, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and oats.

  4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until moistened and only a few lumps remain.
  5. Fill the prepared muffin cups evenly and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Recipe Notes
  • Be sure to check the label on your oats to ensure they are gluten-free, as some oats contain trace amounts of gluten.
  • Don’t try to overfill the muffin cups—these muffins won’t rise as high as those made with wheat flour and will end up spreading over your muffin tin. The batter should be enough for 12 muffin cups, filled about three-quarters of the way up. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • You can top these muffins with some cinnamon sugar before baking and a sprinkling of chopped walnuts or pecans before baking for a little something extra!
  • Replace the applesauce with pumpkin puree to make pumpkin muffins!
  • You can add 1 cup (6 oz/170 g) of chocolate chips to the batter to make something a bit more indulgent!
  • For another variation, mix in a cup of blueberries and a little lemon zest for almond flour blueberry muffins, or sliced banana for almond flour banana muffins.
