These cinnamon apple muffins are a wholesome grain-free and dairy-free treat with simple ingredients that will let you enjoy the flavors of fall year round.
These muffins are based on the Cinnamon Apple Cake recipe in The Nourished Kitchen Guide to Grain-free and Dairy-free Baking, Sweets, and Treats. I really had a hard time deciding what to try first from this amazing baking resource, the flourless chocolate cake? The honey pecan pralines? I finally settled on making muffins from Jenny’s Cinnamon Apple Cake recipe.
Jenny’s e-book teaches you to the basics of baking with grain-free flours like almond and coconut flour and how to replace dairy ingredients. There are over 90 recipes divided into 7 sections:
1. Breads, Biscuits and Breakfasts
2. Cooked fruit, Crisps
3. Fruit Sauces and Copotes
4. Cakes and Brownies
5.Frozen Things
6. Candies and Cookies
7. Mousses and Custards

I recommend this for anyone starting out on grain-free baking, or those looking for wholesome dessert recipes. Even if you’re a pro at grain and dairy free baking, you’ll love the new recipes to try.

These sound delicious! I love cinnamon and apple. Now I’m getting a craving for these! I think that’s a project for this weekend. Thanks!
I made these last Thursday and my family loved them. It really helped the kids get through the 2 days that they were around. I’m about to make another batch right now!
So glad you liked it Beth! If you end up making any of your own tweaks please let us know!
