Introduction

I wanted a breakfast made only from whole ingredients, yet still felt like a treat—these muffins were the result! You can also substitute lightly cooked pears or bananas instead of apples.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium skillet, sautée the apples, water, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and butter or coconut oil until the apples are the consistency of chunky applesauce or apple pie filling. Allow the mixture to cool before combining with the egg mixture.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, butter, coconut milk, coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Add the cooled apples, reserving 1/4 cup for a garnish.

Spoon egg and apple mixture into parchment cup lined muffin tins—1/4 cup each. Gently spoon about one teaspoon of the remaining apple mixture onto the top of each muffin.

Bake for 40 minutes.

    Very Good
    The use of butter is used twice in this recipe, if someone is able to clarify how much should be used when, that would be awesome! - 12/30/14
