Ingredients

For the muffins

  • 1.5 cups gluten-free white rice flour (see notes)
  • 1 cup almond flour (or almond meal)
  • 1 tbs flaxseed meal
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tbs fresh lemon juice
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • cup virgin coconut oil, melted
  • 1 Pink Lady apple, grated
  • ½ cup skin-on sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats

For the topping

  • 1 tbs virgin coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbs pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup skin-on sliced almonds
  • ½ cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats

Instructions

To make the muffins

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside. 
  • Whisk rice flour, almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until no clumps remain. Set aside.
  • Whisk eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, ⅔ cup maple syrup, and ⅔ cup of coconut oil in a large bowl. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk to combine. Add the apple, ½ cup almonds, and ½ cup oats; mix to combine. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to the very top.

To make the topping

  • Mix remaining ¼ cup almonds, ½ cup oats, 1 tbs maple syrup, and 1 tbs coconut oil together in a small bowl to combine. 
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly over each muffin.
  • Bake muffins for 25-30 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick, when inserted into the centers, comes out clean.

Notes

Notes: The original recipe calls for oat flour, but I couldn't find this at my grocery store. White rice flour served as a good sub.
