Ingredient List
- Flour– if you would like this to be gluten free make sure you are using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
- Vanilla Protein Powder– his is the star! It boosts the protein content significantly and adds a lovely vanilla flavor that complements the apple pie spices. Whey or casein powder works best, but a plant-based option may also be used (results may vary slightly)
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Maple Syrup– Provides natural sweetness without processed sugar
- Applesauce– feel free to use cinnamon applesauce for an extra cinnamon muffin
- Greek Yogurt– any percentage of greek yogurt will work
- Coconut Oil– refined coconut oil is what you are going to want to use for this recipe
- Milk– any milk will work, even almond or oat milk
- Vanilla Extract- measure with your heart
- Apples– I suggest a sweeter apple such as Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp
- Apple Pie Spice– This is essential for that unmistakable, home-baked apple pie flavor
Step By Step
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl combine all of the ingredients and stir to combine.
- Spray a silicone muffin pan with oil and fill each cup about ¾ of the way.
- Sprinkle each with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake mini muffins for 15-17 minutes and regular muffins for 25-30 minutes.
Pro Tip
- We’ve swapped out some traditional high-fat ingredients for applesauce, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup for a naturally sweet, moist, and nutrient-dense muffin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze beautifully!
