Apple and Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins | Indigo Herbs

Hello lovely people, it's been a week or so since I posted last due to a damn cold and that mum has decided that she wants a new kitchen , which is actually amazing for me, however, having half a kitchen to work with is not ideal when writing a food blog. So working around the mess, I was able to create three recipes with ingredients I was lucky enough to be sent by Indigo Herbs. It's a first for me to work with raw ingredients that are vegan friendly, so I was excited to create a baking recipe to which I could accommodate my dairy and gluten free friends.

I was sent a bundle of different things including baking ingredients and two types of tahini which will feature in two more posts I have scheduled for this week so look out for those. This post focuses on a breakfast muffin which is perfect for this time of year, hearty and full of Autumnal flavours including cinnamon, which I have a deep craving for this season. These muffins use coconut flour and sugar making them totally gluten free! Also, it involves no dairy in the mixture, perfect for dairy intolerances, a bonus for me! I have added a few chopped walnuts to the mixture to give extra crunch and also contain antioxidants giving extra health benefits, also the flavours of apple and walnut work well together.  

Apple and Cinnamon Muffins

5 Eggs

1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar

240ml of Apple Sauce

70g Coconut Flour

2 Tbsp Cinnamon

1 Tsp Bicarbonate of Soda 

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

55g Coconut Oil

Handful of Chopped Walnuts

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and line a 12 whole muffin tin with cases.

Put all the ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mix with a whisk or electric whisk until well combined. Leave the mixture to sit for five minutes.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases, about two thirds full. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until they start to brown and are not soft when lightly touched on the top.

Leave in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely. Glaze with a little honey for extra sweetness.
