About

Here’s a hearty mini-muffin that’s great to serve with dinner, brunch or to enjoy as a snack. I considered naming these Kitchen Sink Muffins, since I filled it with so many flavorful additions…everything but the kitchen sink :-)

The flavors here are savory and sweet, with salty bacon, fresh herbs, spiced apples and cheesy nutritional yeast. Cooked quinoa adds texture and heartiness that make these little muffins really enjoyable!


Serves 48
For the Spiced Apple

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 apple, seeded and diced

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

sprinkle of  sea salt

1 cup blanched almond flour

⅓ cup nutritional yeast

⅓ cup coconut flour

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

¼ cup coconut oil, melted over low heat

¼ teaspoon Liquid Stevia

1 cup shredded zucchini, drained

2 tablespoons chives, minced

2 stripes cooked bacon, minced


Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 48 mini muffin cups with liners and lightly coat with coconut oil. Set aside.

2

For the Spiced Apple: In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, apple, cinnamon and salt. Sauté until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
