The muffin queen

One thing I never dreamed (in a million years) that I would be called is The Muffin Queen.

I mean, who would think they would earn that kind of title? Its oddly specific. But it is something many people on the internet refer to me as. The Muffin Queen.

And I kinda get it. I do make many muffins. I do eat many muffins. And I have a special place in my heart for anything that can be cooked in a muffin tin (check out my Veggie-Loaded Mini Meatloaves). Its just one of those quirky things that I rock with pride. The Muffin Queen.

And here I am, baking in a muffin tin again…but this time with a fall flare – apple cinnamon muffins recipe!

Does anything say fall quite like the combination of apples and cinnamon? I think not! Just the smell of them together sends me back to my childhood in Maine, apple picking with my family and munching on fresh apple cider donuts.

It’s a heavenly combination that is perfect for fall, but also a year round favorite of many!

And making this warm flavor combo into a delicious and healthy gluten free muffin couldn’t be easier with these Apple Cinnamon Almond Butter Muffins!

These muffins are based off my oh-so popular and loved Almond Butter Blueberry Zucchini Muffins…but with a fall twist! Just as magically spongy as the original recipe but with the warm flavors of autumn…you are going to fall head over heels for this ridiculously simple recipe!

Recipe Notes

• Is almond butter not your jam? Thats cool, you can make these with creamy natural peanut butter too if Paleo isn’t a priorly!
• Want to add a little veggie goodness to these apple cinnamon muffins? Reduce the apples to 3/4 cup and add 1/2 cup of grated carrots to the batter! So yum!
• Adjust the sweetness to your personal preference. Need these a little sweeter? Feel free to bump up the honey/syrup to 1/3 of a cup. Do you want to keep sugar to a minimum? Skip the honey/syrup in this recipe and let the apples do all the sweetening! They will be mildly sweet, have a lovely nutty flavor from the almond butter.
