Paleo Apple Maple Muffins (grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)

These paleo apple muffins are fuss-free and completely maple sweetened. They get extra apple flavor from grated and diced apples.

You can use any grade of all-natural maple syrup in these. You can’t really taste it through all the cinnamon flavor so I went with the standard Grade A Medium Amber kind that’s usually sold in grocery stores around here. I save the darker, stronger tasting and slightly more expensive Grade A Dark Amber kind for dishes where I want the maple taste to shine.

One tablespoon of cinnamon may seem like a lot for 8 muffins (it’s 3/8 teaspoon per muffin) but I’ve tried these with less cinnamon and they just weren’t very exciting. You need the cinnamon!

I’ve also tried these with a bunch of different apple types and we could hardly detect there were apples in the muffins – until I made them with Granny Smith. Their tartness helps them stand out more and together with the cinnamon and maple syrup, creates a truly awesome apple muffin.

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs (50 grams each, out of shell), room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons (70 grams) refined coconut oil, melted (if you use unrefined coconut oil there may be some coconut taste to the muffins)

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 1/4 cups (155 grams) Granny Smith apple chunks (about 1/4")

  3. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, pure Canadian maple syrup, and vanilla.

  4. Add the dry mix to the wet and mix just until combined.

  5. Gently fold in the grated apples and then the chopped apples.

  6. Divide the batter evenly among the liners, filling them almost full, and bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

  7. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for up to 4.
