Apple treats may seem complex, but making these Apple Cinnamon Muffins is worth it. They’re gluten-free and Paleo,
healthier than store-bought options. Made with Paleo flour, natural maple syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon, they’re
delicious for dessert or as a snack. With only 138 calories, 23 grams of complex carbs, and 4 grams of healthy fats,
they’ll power you through the day. The apples are loaded with fiber and help lower inflammation, improve heart
health, and manage weight. Cinnamon is a powerful spice with antioxidant and other health benefits. The Paleo flour
blend ensures a quality muffin. Preheat the oven, line the muffin tin, mix the dry ingredients with chopped apples.
Melt the coconut oil, combine with other wet ingredients, then mix. Fill the liners and bake for 25 minutes. Also
great are apple galettes, apple crisp, and apple fritters. For other healthy muffins, try Paleo muffins, lemon poppy
seed muffins, blueberry muffins, berry muffins, chocolate banana muffins, and banana nut muffins.
Key Ingredients
Apples: These are essential for this recipe, providing fiber and helping with various health
aspects.

gluten-free quality muffin.
How to Make Apple Muffins
Preheat the oven to 300°F and line the muffin tin. Mix the Paleo flour, baking soda, and salt with the

applesauce in a separate bowl. Mix the two bowls until combined. Fill the liners almost full and bake for 25
minutes. These Paleo muffins don’t rise like traditional ones. Get them in the oven for a delicious treat!
