{Apple Streusel Egg Muffins}

applemuffins-08

These tasty little treats make the perfect breakfast muffin. Egg-dense, they’re packed full of protein, and the cinnamon/apple combo has them tasting just as great as they smell.

This is one of two full recipes I am posting from Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. (See my full review here!)

We’ve been whipping up a double batch of these every Sunday, and having them for breakfast during the work week. Try some!

Ingredients

  • 3 large Granny Smith Green Apples
  • 9 Eggs (pastured if you can get some!)
  • 3 tbsp. Coconut Milk
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Coconut Flour
  • 1 tbsp. Cinnamon, divided
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 3 tbsp. warm Water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a medium skillet, saute the apples, water, and 1.5 tsp. of the cinnamon until the apples are the consistency of chunky applesauce or apple pie filling. Allow the mixture to cool before combining with the egg mixture.

  • Add the cooled apples,.
  • Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into lined muffin tins. (Muffins will not rise very much, so feel free to fill the muffin cups up with as much batter as possible).

    • We only use butter from grass-fed cows. But, if you’re more comfortable completely dairy-free, feel free to substitute equal amounts with your COOC (cooking oil of choice). Coconut oil might be nice in this, though I haven’t tried it.
