  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tsp baking powder, gluten-free if needed

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 5 Granny Smith apple chopped into small uneven chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C or 320°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with paper muffin cups.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, coconut flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs before adding in the melted coconut oil and sweetener of choice.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Then fold in the chopped apple, pecans and dates. If the mixture is looking dry, add a splash or two of milk; we used almond milk.
  5. Once combined, spoon the mixture into the muffin tins. Top with crushed pecans and extra apple chunks.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and cooked through.
  7. To make the caramel sauce, whisk together the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  8. Once the muffins are ready, drizzle over the caramel sauce (you may need to add a splash of hot water to the sauce)
  9. Enjoy!
