Ingredients:

Sticky Apple Ingredients:

• 2 apples, diced
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (substitute butter)
• Splash of maple syrup
• Pinch of cinnamon
  • 2 apples, diced
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (substitute butter)
  • Splash of maple syrup
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Dry ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

• 1 banana mashed
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)

Directions:

1. Prepare the sticky apple by sauteing 2 diced apples, coconut oil, maple syrup and cinnamon on low heat. Cover with a lid, and stir frequently, until the apples are softened (approximately 5 to 10 minutes). Set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
3. Make a flax egg by combining 1 tbsp ground flax seed with 2 tbsp water, and letting it sit for 5 minutes to form a gel-like substance, (or substitute with 1 egg).
4. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients.
6. Line a muffin tin with liners, and pour the batter in ¾ of the way. Top the batter with sticky apple mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes, and let cool completely.
7. Makes 12 muffins.
