Paleo Apple Cinnamon Muffins

These Paleo Apple Cinnamon Muffins scream Fall and are gluten-free, dairy-free, and grain-free. They are also low-sugar and sweetened only with apples and a touch of unrefined coconut sugar!

Pumpkin is definitely my favorite Fall flavor but I have to say, these are *almost* as delicious as my Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins 😆pumpkin lovers, beware that you make be converted over to team apple!

This recipe comes together super quickly and requires hardly any clean up thanks to using a blender! If you do not have a blender, a food processor works too.

I love blending half of the amount of apples to naturally sweetenen the muffins and strirring in the other half so you get that soft + caramelized apple chunk in every bite!

These Paleo Apple Cinnamon Muffins make a perfect breakfast (you could even add some collagen to the batter for extra protein!), healthy snack, and even dessert. They are absolutley amazing reheated with a scoop of vanilla coconut milk ice cream 😍

I keep them stored in the refrigerator but they also freeze really well. Just thaw in the refrigerator the night before or stick in the microwave (right from frozen!) for 20-30 seconds.
