These Ceylon cinnamon apple muffin tops have a warm, gently sweet cinnamon flavor. They use a short list of everyday ingredients, a simple mix-and-bake method, and they are dairy-free. There’s no special equipment needed
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chopped apple (I used Fuji)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with a Silat or parchment paper.
- Peel and dice the apple into small pieces and set them on a kitchen towel or paper towel. I do this so any extra liquid is absorbed.
- n a bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, Ceylon cinnamon, and sugar.
- Stir in the egg, oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract and stir until incorporated. Then fold the chopped apple into the wet mixture. Mix until everything is combined. The dough should be very thick, not runny.
- Drop 4 spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. Then, split the remaining mixture between the four mounds. Shape the mounds using the back of the spoon so they are slightly domed.
- Place the muffin tops in the oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes at 375°F, until golden.
- Let the muffin tops cool completely before removing them from the baking sheet.
Notes
- Measure the almond milk and oil carefully, since the batter relies on the balance of the two. Too much liquid and the batter will not be able to be formed into domed muffin tops.
- If your batter is too thick after mixing it, then add in 1 tsp of oil.
- Dry your apple chunks on a kitchen towel so they do not add too much moisture to the batter. If the batter is too thin, add in a tablespoon or two of all-purpose flour.
- Do not overmix once the wet ingredients go in.
- Ovens differ in temperature. I use a gas oven, but when I use an electric oven, these tend to bake quicker. So make sure to check these around the 18 minute mark. If they are domed and golden, then take them out to cool.
