Ingredients

1 cup almond flour

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. ground cardamom

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 

1/2 cup honey

4 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup grated zucchini

1 cup diced tart apple

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan (or use paper liners); set aside. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: applesauce, honey, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. 
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, then fold in grated zucchini and diced apple. Fold together until ingredients are incorporated, but being careful not to overmix. 
  5. Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees F for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. 
  6. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan 10-15 minutes, then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store muffins in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
