Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free oat flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 apple, grated (see notes)
  • 2 eggs, room temperature (or 2 flax eggs)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • granulated sugar or coconut sugar for topping (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 12-count muffin pan nonstick spray or line it with muffin liners.
  • If you haven't already, prepare 2 cups of oat flour. To make the oat flour, add gluten-free oats to a blender or food processor and blend until you have a fine, powdery flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • In another bowl, mix together the eggs, vanilla, almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and the grated apple.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.

Optional Toppings

  • Before baking, sprinkle the top of each muffin with granulated sugar or coconut sugar.
  • Sprinkle the top of each muffin before baking with chopped pecans or walnuts. You can also mix some nuts right into the batter.

Notes

  • If you prefer bigger pieces of apples, instead of grating the apple, chop or dice the apple into the size of your choice.
  • Make these vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs. The muffins will not be as fluffy but they will still taste amazing.
