Almond Flour Applesauce Muffins

Submitted by MarthaGee

"My husband's favorite breakfast food - try one of these instead of a bowl of cereal."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 12 muffins
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1⁄2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 cups ground almonds (almond flour or meal)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine wet ingredients in bowl of food processor. Pulse to beat eggs well.
3. Add dry ingredients. Mix well.
4. Fill paper muffin cups almost full. (Because of the lack of gluten, these muffins do not rise like wheat flour based muffins do.).
5. Bake on center rack of oven for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack. Store in refrigerator. These freeze extremely well.
7. Try the following variations in place of the applesauce and cinnamon: 1 banana and 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 whole orange (including peel) and 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 whole zucchini or summer squash (including skin) and 1 teaspoon dried tarragon. Pulse fruits into a smooth paste before adding the other wet ingredients.

Excellent texture, taste, and healthy, too! I added 1/4 C flax seed, subbed 3T Truvia for honey and added 16 oz blueberry craisins. Browned up nicely after 25 minutes.

These muffins are fabulous! ! ! I used almond milk for the yogurt and 6 T. Splenda for the honey. My A.S.-diabetic husband loves these since he can't have too many sweets. Good Job Martha, Thanks...
