Ingredients

1 3/4 cup spelt flour

1/2 cup quick oats

1/4 cup oat flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp cinnamon

2 eggs

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup olive oil

4 small crab apples (granny smith will also work) chopped to pea size (about 1 cup) mixed with 1 tbsp of lemon & 2 tsp coconut sugar and some cinnamon

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend well with a whisk. Add the chopped apple. Stir to combine.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the sour cream and vanilla and mix well.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). Divide the batter evenly between the 16 muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coconut sugar. Bake muffins for 16-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

4. Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

Enjoy!
