Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Name: Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 50 min
Ingredients: 2 very ripe large bananas; 1 egg; 1/4 cup grass fed butter or coconut oil; 1/4 cup greek yogurt (I used Redwood hill farms Goat’s Milk Yogurt); 1/4 cup Almond Milk; 1 tbsp Vanilla; 1/2 cups Gluten Free Flour; 2/3 Cups Sugar (plus 1 tsp for apples); 1-1/2 tsp baking powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 2 Cups Apples; 2 tsp cinnamon

I have been planning to make Apple Pie for weeks now. I have bought apples twice now and had to just eat them twice. I’m not sure why I have such a mental block about making this pie, but I finally decided maybe I should just make Apple Cinnamon Muffins instead. So I bought apples again, and finally got something “apple” made. And they were fantastic.

Honestly cooking for just the two of us it is hard to make full size desserts and get it all eaten before it either goes bad or we get tired of eating it every night. The great thing about these muffins are, they work for breakfast, snacks or dessert and they freeze wonderfully, so in a few days I will package up what is left and put them in the freezer. Then a few weeks from now when I am searching for something for breakfast, I will pull them back out and finish them up. Nothing wasted.
