Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a 12-count muffin pan nonstick spray or line it with muffin liners.
If you haven't already, prepare 2 cups of oat flour. To make the oat flour, add gluten-free oats to a blender or food processor and blend until you have a fine, powdery flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
In another bowl, mix together the eggs, vanilla, almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and the grated apple.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Store in a sealed container at room temperature.

Optional toppings

Before baking, sprinkle the top of each muffin with granulated sugar or coconut sugar.
Sprinkle the top of each muffin before baking with chopped pecans or walnuts. You can also mix some nuts right into the batter.

Notes

If you prefer bigger pieces of apples, instead of grating the apple, chop or dice the apple into the size of your choice. Make these vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs. The muffins will not be as fluffy but they will still taste amazing.
