These healthy apple muffins taste amazing and you can’t even tell there is no flour and they are gluten-free.
Coconut flour is difficult to work with but this recipe is foolproof and has been tested and retested to get the best consistency and delicious taste. It’s definitely a recipe I am going to keep in my back pocket for when I want to make a delicious and healthy afternoon snack.
I was very excited when I received Regina’s eBook Coconut Flour: Pancakes, Muffins and Mug Cakes for review. I like to bake healthy muffins & pancakes but sometimes it’s so hard to create healthy muffins that also have a great texture and taste.
How to Bake with Coconut Flour
It can be tricky to work with coconut flour especially if you don’t have experience working with it. Because of its highly hygroscopic nature, coconut flour absorbs liquids very well and can leave the batter to feel rather dry.
Regina has worked hours to do recipe testing and perfect her recipes in the eBook, so we can enjoy hassle-free baking with coconut flour. If you are looking for gluten-free and paleo-friendly recipes for delicious and healthy treats & pancakes, you have to check out her eBook. She also shares a video for making delicious grain free coconut flour pumpkin muffins. Her eBook is full of great recipes for pancakes, muffins and mug cakes. I tried one of each category, and the texture was perfect every time. I love the fact that all of the ingredients are clean & healthy, and I won’t feel guilty eating a muffin for breakfast or for an afternoon snack.
You can find more clean eating recipes in her Coconut Flour Muffins, Pancakes and Mug Cakes eBook, as well as answers to these common questions:

Love a good muffin in the morning!
I am a total sucker for pancakes, so I would 100% try those first!
Those muffins look amazing – I think I would start there.
Well, one nephew loves muffins, so the Apple Muffins would be great to make first. BUT the other nephew loves pancakes, lol, so I might try pancakes.
I’d try the Coconut Flour Chocolate Muffins first. Sounds yummy!
Banana pancakes!
I Want to try apple muffins first!
I think i would love to try the coconut flour pancakes first.
I would love to try the Sweet Potato Pancakes.
Your photos of these muffins are beautiful Neli! I will have to try the apple muffins. I have loved Regina’s other recipes so far. A bad coconut flour recipe can really put someone off of using this healthy and delicious flour, so Regina’s book is a great place for newbies to start!
Thanks, Michelle! 🙂 Yes, Regina’s book has a lot of delicious recipes, and I can’t wait to try all of them.
