I’ts day 16 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox! I’m feeling like I have good energy, but man, I really want chocolate. Less than a week to go!
In the meantime, I am loving these cute little apple muffins. I’ve been doing a lot with green bananas lately, but the green apples need a little more love! These muffins are quite fluffy and have really nice texture. Sauteeing the apples before incorporating them into the batter helps with the sweetness of the muffins.
These are delicious slathered with butter and eaten alongside bacon for breakfast; enjoy!

These look great, I want to try them but I did want to mention that for your recommendations on coconut flour I did not like Bob’s. I found another flour called better body foods coconut flour and it is not grainy at all and almost has the consistency of a wheat flour. I’ll come back after I try the recipe but it looks fantastic.
I can’t imagine how tough doing a sugar detox would be, even though I rarely eat added sugar! At least you have these muffins by your side! Thank God for the sweetness of fruit 🙂
