Low Carb, Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins

February 24, 2018 by thefithabit Leave a Comment

Head's up, there might be affiliate links ahead!

These are some of the best gluten-free muffins I’ve ever tasted!

I made these muffins this weekend as I still have so much almond and coconut flour left over from my days with Procakes.  I am sure this stuff will go bad eventually, but for now, it still tastes fine, 3 years later!

I was going to call them paleo, but…

I’m not actually sure that xylitol, the main sweetener in this recipe is paleo.  I’m very sure Grok, the avatar for our former, caveman self, was consuming sugar alcohol alongside his diet of leaves, bugs and the occasional bird.  However, I see a lot of paleo food bloggers using coconut sugar, which even though it’s less processed (maybe?) Grok probably wasn’t eating that either.

So I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether or not these babies are appropriate for your paleo taste buds.  However, if you’re not paleo – then dig in man, because these are simply delicious!

Muffins: The Ultimate Grab and Go Snack

As I’ve worked to reduce my carb intake, particularly when it comes to baked goods.  But that also leaves a hole in my bread-loving heart, so I think this is a really good compromise.  Don’t you think?  They’re perfect for breakfast or with coffee at 10 am.  If they get a little stale, you can chop them into big chunks and toss them with some berries and yogurt!

BTW, I always like to forward my fellow dog owners that xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, so Fido is a no-go on these muffins, okay?

Awesome – now let’s make some muffins, baby!
