What are Autumn Apple Spice Muffins?

Delicious + Nutritious

Ingredients for making Autumn Apple Spice Muffins

Apples — Who doesn’t love an in-season sweet and juicy apple?! They’re just so darn good and the perfect fall fruit. Apples are full of fibre which contributes to healthy digestion and cholesterol levels, and they’re a good source of vitamin C which helps keep our immune systems (and bones) strong.

Cinnamon + Ginger — The perfect fall spices, warm and cozy with a little kick of heat. When paired with our fall fav the apple, it’s a combination made for foodie heaven. Both cinnamon and ginger are great for fighting inflammation, and their anti-inflammatory properties are often called upon to reduce overall inflammation throughout the body, helping to relieve aches and pains. Ginger in particular is known to help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation within the cardiovascular, digestive, cognitive and endocrine systems. 

Spelt Flour + Coconut/Cane Sugar — Less processed equals more nutrients and less crap. The same goes for organic flour and sugars, it’s worth the extra cost to have a more nutrient dense food thats good for you and the planet!

Chia Seeds — This super seed is not only rich in antioxidants, minerals, fibre and omega-3s, but it’s also a replacement for eggs in plant-based cooking. It’s as easy as [ 1 chia egg = 1 tbsp chia seeds + 2 1/2 tbsp water ]. 

Apple Cider Vinegar — A little acid to help our star flavours (apple, cinnamon + ginger) really pop! Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar is full of gut-friendly bacteria (thanks to the fermentation process used to make it). This aids in a healthy digestive tract by killing off bad bacteria and re-populating your gut with good, digestion-friendly bacteria. 

Coconut Oil — Great for adding moisture and a little coconutty sweetness to baked goods like muffins. Coconut oil may be a saturated fat, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s bad for your health. Coconut oil is a medium-chain triglyceride, a fat that is quickly used for energy (by your brain and body systems) instead of being stored by bodily tissue like long-chain triglycerides like canola or generic ‘vegetable’ oil). Coconut oil also contains lauric acid which has antimicrobial properties to help fight bacteria and infection.

Don’t buy almond flour from the store, make it at home! It’s as easy as 1,2,3. 

ONE: Add 1 to 2 cups of almonds to a blender or food processor.
TWO: Blend until you reach a course flour consistency. THREE: Store in an air right container in the fridge.

Be sure not to over blend your almonds, otherwise you’ll end up with almond butter instead of flour. 

Use your almond flour in this Healthy Mini Blueberry Muffin recipe: https://harmonicharvest.ca/healthy-mini-blueberry-muffins/
