These healthy applesauce muffins are the perfect fluffy light slightly-sweet snack that are gluten-free, paleo and free from added sugar.

Why I love this recipe:

  • These applesauce muffins are very easy to make. You basically dump all of the ingredients into a bowl, blend them together, then bake and you’re done!
  • Since this recipe uses coconut flour and tapioca flour, these muffins are naturally paleo, grain free, gluten free and low carb as well!
  • These muffins have an apple flavor that is lightly sweet with a hint of cinnamon spice and a fluffy moist texture.

Healthy Applesauce Muffins Recipe Tips:

  • It won’t work to substitute the coconut flour or the eggs–both are crucial for this recipe. However, you can swap out the tapioca flour for arrowroot or cassava flour. I haven’t tried any other substitutions for this recipe so I can’t vouch for any other changes.
  • This recipe makes 12 mini muffins or 6 regular sized muffins. To make a dozen regular sized muffins make sure you double the recipe.
  • You want to make sure to blend the batter well so use a stick blender, a regular blender or a food processor to combine the ingredients.
  • These muffins will rise a little bit, but not as much as regular muffins will so you can fill them up almost to the top of the muffin liner, but leave a bit of room.

    Can I use Paleo flour instead of coconut flour and tapaio flour?

      I’m not sure what’s in your paleo flour, but I doubt it’s the same ratio as these flours so it probably won’t turn out the same.
