Servings: 12
Calories: 175kcal

Ingredients

For the Muffins

  • 1/2 cup Coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 cup apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

For the Crumb Topping

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil, softened
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.  Line a muffin pan with silicone liners or grease well.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the dry muffin ingredients until combined (coconut flour, baking soda, nutmeg, salt).
  • In a large, separate mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, honey, ghee, applesauce, and berries).
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing in about 1/3 of the dry mixture at a time, until it is all well combined with no dry clumps remaining.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way.  Top with a few extra berries.
  • In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients.  Place a small amount of the topping over each muffin cup, using your fingers to sprinkle it over.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is melted and the edges of each muffin are golden brown.
  • Allow the muffins to cool, and enjoy!

Notes

  • To avoid "soggy muffins", we store leftovers in the pantry or on the kitchen counter at room temperature, covered lightly with paper towels.  Airtight containers can make them a little too moist!
  • The BPA free muffin liners actually work great on their own, without the muffin pan!  You can line them up on a baking sheet and they will hold their form during baking.  I use any extra batter this way- baking them on a separate sheet!
  • Avoid using frozen berries in this recipe- fresh keeps the batter from getting too soggy!
