Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone muffin liners or paper liners, or lightly grease with coconut oil spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined and free of any lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add unsweetened applesauce and honey (or preferred sweetener), whisking until the mixture is fully integrated and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
- Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture, which helps achieve a better texture.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins.
- Use the Resting Time: Let the batter sit for 3-5 minutes to allow coconut flour to absorb moisture, which improves texture.
- Check for Doneness: Always use the toothpick test - it should come out clean when inserted into the center of a muffin.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add sugar-free chocolate chips, nuts, or berries to create your own unique variation.
- Proper Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, or freeze for up to a month for longer preservation.
