Why It Works
  • Using almond flour and coconut flour in this recipe results in a muffin that is gluten-free and grain-free. Almond flour is a good source of protein and fiber, and it gives the muffins a moist and tender crumb. Coconut flour is also a good source of fiber, and it helps to absorb moisture, resulting in a muffin that is not too dense.
  • Sweetening the muffins with maple syrup instead of refined sugar gives them a natural sweetness without being too sugary. Maple syrup is also a good source of antioxidants.
  • The combination of apples and cinnamon gives these muffins a classic fall flavor. The apples add moisture and sweetness, while the cinnamon adds a warm and spicy flavor.
  • Baking the muffins at a moderate temperature (350°F) helps to ensure that they cook evenly without overcooking.
