Apple Cinnamon Crumb Muffins

Cold weather always gets me in a baking mood, so when my Peach Crumble Muffins popped up on my blog page I decided to take a spin at a fall/winter version!
.
While peaches aren’t in season right now, Apples are so I made a few swaps in the original recipe for a delicious, healthy snack or to pair with another meal!
.
On a side note: *Incorporating more protein into my baking helps make sure I’m getting the amino acids my body needs to maintain lean muscle I work hard for in the gym (which in turn burns more fat)! I add eggs, egg whites, and high quality whey protein into my muffins, pancakes and other goodies to help meet my protein requirement each day!*
.
Here’s the recipe, I can’t wait to hear when you try them!
.
Dry ingredients:
1/2 cup almond flour
1 1/2 cup Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Buttermilk Pancake Mix
3 scoops Level-1 Cinnamon Cookie Batter Protein
1/2 cup Lakanto Golden monkfruit sweetener (low glycemic natural 1:1 substitute for sugar!)
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
.
Combine all dry ingredients then set aside.
.
Wet ingredients:
2 large apples, cored, peeled and diced (I used Fuji 🍎)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 whole egg
1/2 cup egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Organic MCT oil
.
Next, add all wet Ingredients EXCEPT the apples to the dry mixture and stir until well combined. Then fold in the diced apple and put 1/4 cup of the batter in a pre-greased muffin pan.
.
Crumble topping:
You’ll need 3tbsp of softened butter, 2 tbsp cane sugar, 5 tbsp kodiak cakes~ plus a dash of cinnamon and salt. Use a fork to combine until a crumble mixture comes together.
.
Top with a teaspoon of the crumble topping, then pop in your preheated oven. Bake at 350F for about 18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. 👌
.
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes (if you can wait that long lol) and enjoy! This made a 18 Muffins! Perfect for prep or to share with those you love!
