Ingredients

For the Apple Cinnamon Muffins

2 medium overripe bananas , mashed
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 large eggs , room temperature
2 tbsp melted coconut oil , use refined if you don’t like the coconut flavor
1/4 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter, preferably new and not near the bottom of the jar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder , use gluten-free as needed
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup superfine blanched almond flour
3 tbsp coconut flour
2/3 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup diced apple divided

For the Crumble Topping

5 tbsp almond flour
2 tbsp softened coconut oil
3 tbsp coconut sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or avocado oil or line with parchment paper liners.
Make the crumb topping: Combine crumb mixture ingredients in a bowl with a fork until combined and chill in the fridge while you prepare muffin batter.
Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and use a fork to mash until smooth. Add the applesauce, eggs and mix very well, then add coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla until well combined.
Place a large mesh sieve on top of the bowl, and sift in the baking powder, baking soda, almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon and salt. Stir until combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of the apples, reserving the rest for the topping.
Use a scoop or a large spoon to fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full or more. Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping over each muffin and top with reserved apples.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out smooth. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.
Enjoy with a pat of butter or creamy nut butter.
