Spring Paleo Green Apple Muffins

By Jane Park Smith      

April 26, 2017

I had a bunch of pasture raised eggs and 6 imperfect granny smith apples that needed to get gone, so they mixed together to make a yummy treat for me and my pups Rocky the Rescue and Contessa Bear Smith!  Yes… win-win for all!

I wasn’t sure how it would turn out because sweeter, not tart, apples are typically used for baked breads and cakes, but I figured if the green goodies can go into pie, then why not a muffin?!  Besides, it sounded fresh for Spring! Experiment challenge taken!

  • Prep: 20 mins
  • Cook: 30 mins

Ingredients

1 cup coconut flour

1 tablespoon Ceylon cinnamon

2 teaspoons of each baking powder and baking soda

1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

2 cups applesauce (or 5 average size apples pureed with juice squeezed from 1/2 lemon and 6 dates–fresh, homemade is always better!)

8 pasture-raised eggs

1/2 cup coconut oil melted

2 teaspoons each local or favorite honey and vanilla paste

Directions

1=Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2=Add all wet ingredients (applesauce, coconut oil, eggs, honey, and vanilla paste) and mix by hand or mixer machine.

3=Sift together dry ingredients and combine with wet and mix thoroughly.

4=Scoop into silicone muffin molds or paper-lined muffin tins. These do not rise too much, so filling almost to top is fine.

5=Bake for 20-25 minutes… I ended up going close to 25 minutes.

6=Optional: save a scoop of batter, add date paste of 5 Medjool dates, and 1/4 up of GF oats and mash together. Take a little bit and mix this mash onto the top of each muffin batter in the tins or mold. This will bake for at least 25 minutes. It’s just a little bit sweeter and has a nice touch of texture that delights.

7=BONUS! This was baked with our best pup pals in mind! My two rescues licked their plates clean… If your pup likes apples, this will be a great treat to enjoy together!
