In this post you can learn how to prepare these delicious Low carb almond flour and apple muffins, tasty and tender, they can be eaten for breakfast, as a snack or as a dessert.

The apple is one of my favorite fruits.

There are many varieties available in the marke, some more tart, others sweeter, some crisp and others soft.

They come in shades of yellow, green, and red.

It’s an incredibly versatile fruit, delicious both fresh and cooke, whether baked, made into a compote, used in cakes, or even dried for a healthy snack.

 

These low carb almond flour muffins are prepared with one of my favorite fruits, the apple, there are many varieties and it is very versatile.

 

I make these almond flour and apple muffins using my homemade, sugar-free applesauce, flavored with cinnamon and fresh vanilla.

They also include ground almonds, which gives them a soft, delicate flavor.

For an extra touch of sweetness, I add a few raisins, trust me, the mix of these three ingredients is just perfect.

I love serving these apple muffins as a dessert.

They’re so moist and light that they make an ideal sweet treat.

To complete the dish, I usually grate an apple and gently cook it in its own juice with a few drops of lemon.

I also like to add a healthy sauce.

If you’re fine with dairy, a bit of Greek yogurt works beautifully—just add a few drops of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

For a dairy-free option, a simple vanilla sauce made with almond milk is a great option.

The recipe is very easy:

You’ll need a plant-based milk (almond, hazelnut, or cashew all work well), a thickener like tapioca flour, a natural sweetener such as birch sugar or coconut sugar, a vanilla pod, and a few strips of lemon peel.

Here’s my suggestion:

Start with a base of the sauce on the plate (yogurt, vanilla, or your favorite alternative), place one muffin on top, spoon over a bit more sauce, add another muffin, and finish with more sauce and the warm grated apple.

For garnish, add a sprig of mint or peppermint, a few extra raisins, and maybe a bit more sauce around the plate.

It’s a delicious dessert—I promise! (Next time I make them, I’ll be sure to share a photo; last time, they disappeared too quickly!)

 

I love enjoying these low-carb almond flour muffins as a dessert—they’re moist, light, and low in calories, so you can indulge without any guilt

 

The main ingredient in these muffins is apple. Almond flour gives structure to the batter, while eggs help bind everything together. Below is a quick summary of the health benefits of each of these key ingredients:

  • Composed of over 80% water, making them very hydrating.

  • Provide a variety of vitamins, including A, C, B1, B2, and E.

  • Low in carbohydrates.

Benefits of Eggs:

  • A good source of healthy fats, including Omega-3 fatty acids.

  • Rich in vitamin B12 and folic acid, as well as vitamins A and D.

  • Provide important minerals such as iron, selenium, zinc, and calcium.

Benefits of Almonds:

  • Provide phosphorus for bone health.

  • Low glycemic index, which helps with blood sugar control.

  • Naturally gluten-free, ideal for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

The best part about these muffins is how convenient they are to take anywhere—making them the perfect homemade, healthy snack

Why I love this recipe:

As I’ve mentioned before, I really enjoy recipes that are prepared in portions, and for several reasons.

Portioning allows me to control what I eat, and these muffins are easy to store, so I can enjoy them when I need a quick snack or even as a dessert, like I’ve shared before.

But above all, the main reason I love them is their flavor and texture—they’ll truly surprise you.

Recipe Summary:

To prepare this, start by making a homemade, sugar-free apple compote.

Once it has cooled, mix it with ground almonds, a bit of baking powder, an egg, a tablespoon of melted coconut oil, and another of birch sugar (xylitol).

Stir the mixture well, then divide it into muffin molds, adding three raisins to each portion.

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes, then bake at 180°C for around 20 minutes. Once they’re cool, enjoy this delicious treat!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 taza compota de manzana casera
  • 3/4 taza almendra molida
  • 1 tsp levadura química
  • 1 huevo
  • 1 tbsp xilitol
  • 1 tbsp aceite de coco
  • 1/4 taza uvas pasas aproximadamente 30 unidades

Instructions
 

  • Precalienta el horno a 200ºC
  • Bate el huevo con el aceite de coco derretido, añade el xilitol y la levadura química a la mezcla, bate muy bien con varillas.
  • Sigue mezclando los ingredientes húmedos, es hora de incorporar la compota, asegúrate de que todo quede bien integrado. 
  • Añade la almendra molida, hazlo poco a poco, con 3/4 de taza es suficiente, si te pasas la masa quedará muy seca y lo que nos interesa es una masa jugosa.
  • Deja reposar la mezcla entre 5 y 10 minutos y luego repártela en los moldes equitativamente.* Cuando tengas la masa en la bandeja, dale unos golpes para que se asiente correctamente.
  • Añade tres pasas a cada hueco, aproximadamente.
  • Hornea durante 15 o 20 minutos a 180ºC.
  • Cuando creas que ya están, deberían quedar un poco doraditos en la superficie, es importante comprobar que están cocinados y la forma más fácil es introducir un palillo en el centro, haz el test en varios muffins, como ya sabes algunos hornos no cocinan por igual en todas las partes.
  • Sácalos del horno y déjalos enfriar unos 10 minutos tal cual. Una vez transcurrido ese tiempo, si has usado la bandeja para muffins, retíralos para que se aireen, lo ideal es ponerlos sobre una rejilla, para que el aire circule y no queden mojados en la base como consecuencia de la condensación al enfriarse.
  • Una vez hayan alcanzado la temperatura ambiente, guárdalos en la nevera, en un recipiente cerrado.
  • Úsalos cuando los necesites, tómalos en el desayuno, en la merienda o como postre*, ¡tú eliges!

Notes

*Para hornear los muffins yo he usado una bandeja especial para muffins que tiene 12 cavidades. En cada hueco he puesto un molde de papel, es importante que sepas que la masa una vez cocida se pegará un poco al papel, es inevitable, a pesar de llevar el aceite de coco, siempre se adhiere.
Puedes probar con unos moldes de silicona, píntalos con aceite de coco derretido o mantequilla antes de echar la masa, para ello usa un pincel de cocina.
Otra opción es no usar los moldes de papel y echar la masa directamente en los huecos de la bandeja especial para muffins. En este caso engrásalos muy bien, si no, el desastre está asegurado.
*Puedes acompañar estos muffins de manzana rallada cocida y una salsa de yogur griego con aroma de vainilla o de una salsa de vainilla sin lactosa. También combinan muy bien con un sorbete de fruta, ¡ideal para el verano!.
*Cada ración son 2 muffins. Con estas cantidades a mi me salieron 8 muffins, si deseas hacer más dobla las cantidades.
