APPLE MUFFINS WITH COCONUT FROSTING

APPLE MUFFINS WITH COCONUT FROSTING

By holisticsquid.com

Ingredients

3 eggs, room temperature

70g/1/3 cup honey

1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon unrefined salt

3 teaspoons baking powder

220g/1 cup homemade coconut butter

400g/2 cups chopped apple

Instructions

Whisk together eggs, honey, spices, salt, and baking powder. It’s much better if the eggs are at room temperature, if cold the coconut butter will be harder to stir in.  Stir in soft coconut butter (put it in a jar of hot water if too hard) until thoroughly combined.  Add apples and stir, put into muffins tins. You can fill them more than regular muffins as they don’t raise as much. Makes 12 muffins.  In a pre-heated oven of 350F, bake for 20-25 min or until golden brown. Take out of oven and allow to cool.

Coconut Butter Frosting Ingredients

110g/1/2 cup coconut butter (how to make it)

150g/1/2 cup honey

120ml/1/2 cup water (or milk/milk alternative/juice) *

1 teaspoon vanilla (or other flavouring – almond would be excellent)

*Note: if using store bought coconut butter, use half the amount of liquid, so only 60ml/1/4 cup.

In a food processor, blender, or with a hand blender, blend together soft coconut butter, honey, and vanilla or other flavouring. Add liquid until desired consistency.  Spread on baked goods or eat plain!
