Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with coconut oil or a non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add in the honey, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped almonds to the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free almond muffins as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
