Easy Coconut Flour Apple Cinnamon Muffins Apple Cinnamon Muffins

I discovered this recipe out of desperation, and made it again because it was great (and easy)! One morning, I realized I only had 5 eggs in the fridge…. not enough for the five of us, especially when the kids can all eat three each!

The chickens are starting to lay regularly, but not up to full laying yet, so I had five eggs and not much else in the house. I also had coconut flour, homemade applesauce and coconut oil, so I mixed them!

I’m not much of a baker (I guess that makes sense considering we don’t eat grains…) so I didn’t expect these to turn out good at all. Shockingly, they were great and the kids requested them every day last week for breakfast.

Apple Cinnamon Coconut Flour Muffin Ingredients:

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup homemade applesauce (store bought should work too)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2-3 TBSP cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 T honey (optional)

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Coconut Muffins:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Grease a muffin pan with coconut oil.
  3. Put all ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mix with immersion blender or whisk until well mixed.
  4. Let sit 5 minutes.
  5. Use 1/3 cup measure to spoon into muffin tins.
  6. Bake 12-15 minutes until starting to brown and not soft when lightly touched on the top.
  7. Let cool 2 minutes, drizzle with honey (if desired) and serve.

Flavor Options!

This recipe is actually very versatile! To mix it up, try these flavor combinations:

  • Reduce the applesauce by 1/4 cup and add an overripe banana before blending. Mix in 1/2 cup toasted chopped nuts (like walnuts) by hand.
  • Add 1/2 cup blueberries or raspberries
  • Add 1/2 cup chopped apples for a little crunch
  • Add 3 T of cocoa powder to make almost cupcake like

    I’m having one of these with a cup of tea as I write this — delicious! This is one of the few coconut flour recipes I’ve tried that’s resulted in a well-risen cake with a proper muffin appearance (maybe it was because I added chopped apples?). Thanks for the great recipe!

    This is a great recipe! These muffins are delicious and filling. Perfect for a to-go snack. One thing I keep forgetting is to warm the applesauce to keep the coconut oil from turning to concrete. Love these though. I make them almost weekly.
