Ingredients

1 large apple, peeled and cored gala, granny smith and honeycrisp work well
4 Tbsp flaxseed, ground
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp granulated xylitol
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of allspice
Pinch of Celtic Sea Salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grate apple with a large cheese grater.
Place shredded apple in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, add apple and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Divide into 4 muffin cups and bake 30 minutes. (For small muffins, bake 15-20 minutes. For larger muffins, bake 25-30 minutes. )
Muffins will not rise much, so to check for doneness, insert a toothpick or sharp knife into one muffin. If it comes out clean, muffins are done.
