Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp salt

- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, don’t overmix the batter, and choose a mixture of sweet and tart apples. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
