Gentle Tummy
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup apples finely chopped (1 apple)
  • 1/2 cup apples diced small (1/2 apple)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup oil (light olive oil is my fave)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Dry Ingredients:

Crumb Topping:

Maple White Chocolate Glaze

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 2 drops maple extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper muffin or cupcake liners, or grease the cups well to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients, including applesauce, apple cider, eggs, egg white, olive oil, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
    Then add the dry ingredients, including the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
    Stir in the finely diced apples with a spatula.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the oat flour, coconut sugar, melted butter, and salt until you have a crumbly texture. Set this aside.
  • Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the muffin batter. Allow the lumpy batter to mound in the center of each muffin.
    Add 5 apple chunks to the center top of each muffin.  Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the muffin batter in each cup, gently pressing it down in between the apple chunks.
    Lightly dust the top of all the muffins with cinnamon.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 26-28 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • While the muffins are cooling, you can prepare the glaze. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the drops of maple extract and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the coconut oil until smooth.
    Once the muffins have cooled to room temperature on a cooling rack, drizzle the maple white chocolate glaze over each muffin with a spoon. Or, you can pour the glaze into a small snack bag, seal the bag, cut a small triangle out of the corner, and pipe on the glaze.
    Allow the glaze to set before serving. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
    Enjoy your delicious Maple Glazed Gluten-Free Apple Muffins are now ready to enjoy as a delightful breakfast or snack!
