Recipe Tips
- If you’re finding the apple a bit too hard in the baked muffins, then you can cook the apple before putting it into the muffin mix. I recommend dicing the apple and either precook it in the oven or in a pot over the stove.
- I have always found the apple comes out soft so you shouldn’t need to precook it. I believe the trick is to make sure you cut it as small as possible.
- This recipe uses tapioca starch, which is considered paleo-friendly. However, it is also recommended not to go overboard with eating tapioca starch.
- I use either an olive oil spray or a coconut oil spray to grease my muffin trays.
- If you don’t like apple skin, then you can peel it off. Otherwise, I would just leave it on. There are not many fruit and vegetables that I would peel.
- Almond flour is also known as almond meal or ground almonds.
