Equipment
- 1 stand mixer, muffin tray
Ingredients
- ¾ cup olive oil extra virgin
- 1¼ cup date sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup Bob's Red Mill almond flour
- 1¼ cup Bob's Red Mill whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp nutmeg freshly grated
- 1½ cup apples peeled and grated
- 1 cup walnuts shelled and coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare the ingredients.
- Mix/beat the olive oil with the date sugar in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat between each addition. Sift the whole wheat flour with the baking soda and salt and fold with the almond flour into the mixture until combined. Add the peeled and grated apples with the cinnamon, nutmeg and half of the chopped walnuts and fold until combined.
- Line a muffin tray with baking cups and scoop the batter into the cups. Fill the cups three-quarters of the way up to the brim of the cups. Sprinkle crushed walnuts on top of the batter in each cup. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a cake skewer comes out clean.
- Serve the Sugar-free Apple Muffins with coffee.

Notes
- Pour the muffin batter directly into greased muffin tins if you do not have baking cups.
- Pecans are a good substitute for walnuts; cinnamon goes well with pecans. Add a little more cinnamon powder if you are using pecans.
