Apple Cinnamon Paleo Muffins

Today's post is just for fun because I am not a food blogger but I do LOVE to experiment with recipes and make them healthy! Now that my girls are in school I am always trying to come up with creative breakfast ideas that they can eat quickly, enjoy and have some great nutritional value. I made these muffins yesterday and all 3 of my kids approve!

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Almond Meal (I buy mine at nuts.com)
• 4 T Ground flaxseed (this adds fiber and omegas!)
• 1 Cup unsweetened applesauce
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/3 cup Raw honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 T almond milk, coconut milk or water

Topping(optional)

• 2 T coconut oil, melted
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 
• Line your muffin pan with liners OR coat with coconut oil
• Mix wet ingredients well.
• Slowly add in dry ingredients.
• Fill muffin pans 3/4 full each and bake for 20 minutes.
• Combine coconut oil and cinnamon and mix well(for the topping).
• Drizzle optional topping on the muffins immediately when removed from the oven.  

Even if you and your family don't eat Paleo these are a great muffin that taste amazing and have a lot of protein, healthy fats and fiber without a bunch of added sugar or flour.  Let me know how you like them!
