Apple Cinnamon Muffins {coconut flour}

Jan 11, 2025 (Leave a Comment)

Apple Cinnamon Muffins {coconut flour}

This recipe has been on my to do list for years, and thankfully a request came in from a reader last week so I grabbed a few apples and went to work. I've created three recipes actually, a muffin using coconut flour, almond flour, and a combination of both.

This version is a tender, moist muffin using apples, coconut flour, eggs, ground cinnamon, and coconut milk. If you prefer you can use yogurt in place of the coconut milk or use another kind of milk.

I sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon on the top of each muffin but I can see going beyond that. And because I know some like muffin toppings more than the muffin itself, you have several options:

  • candied walnuts
  • cinnamon and coconut sugar
  • cinnamon and maple sugar
  • cinnamon and date sugar
  • streusel topping

Here are the other two recipes in this series:

  • Apple Cinnamon Muffins {almond flour}
  • Apple Cinnamon Muffins {almond & coconut flour}

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C, or gas mark 4).
  • Prepare a baking pan with muffin liners.
  • Combine coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl and blend well.
  • Add the eggs, milk, and sweetener to the dry mixture and blend well with a spatula or use a mixer or food processor. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.

  • Cool and store sealed in the refrigerator or freeze for a few months.
