Apple, Ginger and Coconut Muffins

These muffins are wheat free, dairy free, gluten free and nut free (if you omit the almond flour).

What you’ll need:
60g almond flour (or ground almonds)
120g coconut flour*
5 eggs
2 small apples
1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
About an inch chunk of fresh ginger chopped (or to taste)
100ml coconut oil
4 teaspoons of honey
*I’ve tried it with 180g of coconut flour instead of adding almond flour before for a more “coconutty” flavour and texture. Both options worked well. This would also make it nut free.

Method
Melt the coconut oil in a pan. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the honey. Add the ground ginger. Beat the eggs and combine in a bowl or food processor.

Sieve in the flour (make sure you sieve as the coconut flour clumps really easily). Chop the apple and fresh ginger and mix this in. The consistency becomes dough like. Works best to just mix the apple and ginger in with a spoon or by hand, then use your hands to form into small muffin shapes.

Line a muffin tin with paper cups.  Bake in the oven at 160 degrees C for 40-45 minutes until muffins are set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool, et voila!

Enjoyed best with your favourite cuppa :)
