Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 2 1/2 tbsp water
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups gluten-free oat flour
• 1 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1 cup finely diced apples

Streusel topping:

• 1/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 1/3 cup gluten-free oat flour
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp melted refined coconut oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper lines or grease well. Set aside.

Make the streusel by combining the oats, oat flour and coconut sugar in a small bowl. Whisk until uniform, then pour in the maple syrup and coconut oil. Rub the wet ingredients into the dry until you get a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseeds, water, maple syrup, applesauce, coconut oil and vanilla.

In another bowl, add the oat flour, brown rice flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Whisk until uniform and lump-free.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir until evenly mixed. The batter should be thick but pourable. Add a bit more flour or almond milk if needed to get this consistency.

Gently fold in the diced apples.

Spoon the muffin batter into the muffin cups, filling them to the edge. Top each with the crumb topping.

Bake for 20-24 minutes, until browned on top and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then move to a wire rack and cool completely.

These muffins are best enjoyed on the day of baking and in an airtight container until needed.

Makes 12-16 muffins
