Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Microwave or heat the coconut oil until liquified. Warm the milk to room temperature and add the white vinegar; let it sit to create buttermilk.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, buttermilk, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and allspice; stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples. Scoop batter into a greased or lined muffin tin.
- Melt the butter and mix with sugar and cinnamon. Spoon over the tops of the muffins for a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping.
- Bake muffins for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
Notes
These muffins are perfect for a healthy autumn snack or breakfast. You can double the topping for extra crunchiness.
