Ingredients
- 2 Fuji apples grated (I prefer and did not peel them)
- 6 X-large eggs
- 2/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 2/3 cup Maple syrup
- 6 Tbsps. Stevia
- 2/3 cup of coconut milk (I used tinned milk, and first mixed the solids into the liquid)
- 2 cups of almond meal
- 2/3 cup flax meal
- 2/3 cup desiccated unsweetened coconut
- 2 Tbsps. cinnamon powder
- 3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 Tbsps. psyllium husk
- 1/3 tsp Himalayan pink salt
- 1 cup of mixed dried fruit of your preference
- 2/3 cup chopped mixed nuts (I only had regular nuts, so I crushed it in a plastic bag with a heavy rolling pin)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the apple, eggs, oil, syrup, stevia, and milk together.
- Add the rest of the ingredients (not the nuts and fruit)
- Mix until well combined.
- Set aside and let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
- Now add the fruit and nuts and lightly mix through.
- Scoop a 1/3 measuring cup full into each greased muffin tin.
- It should be at least 2/3 full and bake at 200C (375F) until the tops are firm to the touch, ± 15-20 minutes.
- I made 8 large cupcake sizes and 6 small bund-size muffins, and they’re decent size muffins.
- Should you prefer smaller ones, feel free to divide the dough and spoon each muffin well approximately 2/3 full.
- Let them cool down, then turn them onto a cooling wire tray.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy for breakfast.

This is the kind of muffin I need for me and my hubby. Thank you,Esma!
You’re welcome Miriam – Hope you will also enjoy it as I do
These sound tasty and not too calorific too!
Thanks, Rachael – you can substitute the maple syrup with anything else you prefer, but that’s what I had so used it, and although I say so myself, they came out very yummy indeed.
