Finally Fall Coffee Cake Muffins
It’s hard to believe the seasons are changing already. Summer produce is starting to dwindle at the Farmers’ Markets & the Fall items are starting to creep in.
I’ve been baking a LOT the past few months. More than I’ve ever baked in my life. I’d rather be traveling, but such is life in a pandemic.
I’ve started buying apples, a fruit that I find I tire of quickly. Usually, I’d drop them into my Balsamic Fruit Crumble Recipe, but I had some Paleo flour left from another recipe, and decided to give coffee cake a go. Since I don’t have a round cake pan, I opted to make them muffins. Here’s the result. I hope you love them as much as I do.
Finally Fall Coffee Cake Muffins
Makes approximately 12 muffins.
Ingredients:
2 Large Eggs
2 Tbl Butter, softened
1/2 C Coconut Sugar
1 C Almond Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 C Apples (about one large), grated
1 Tbl Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Topping:
1/4 C butter, room temperature
1/4 C Coconut Sugar
1/4 C Almond Flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 C Walnuts, crushed
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease your muffin tin, or use paper muffin cups.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add in ghee, sugar, almond milk, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined.
Add in apples, cinnamon & nutmeg. Stir to combine well.
Scoop batter into 12 muffin cups.
In another bowl, add together the ghee, coconut sugar, almond flour, cinnamon, and walnuts for the Topping. Combine into a thick paste.
Scoop Topping onto the batter of the Muffins.
Bake approximately 30-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick in center and it should come out clean.
Cool muffins & serve.
Pin me for later!
Notes:
I used almond milk, but you can use cashew milk, oat milk, or whatever you prefer.
You can dice the apples, if you’d like. I thought they mixed well grated.
Feel free to use another nut for the Topping.
You could easily swap out the apples for a fruit like pears.
