Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line the cups of a 12-count standard muffin tin with paper or foil liners.

Step 2

Whisk the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until blended; whisk in the applesauce, maple syrup and vanilla until blended.

Step 4

Add the coconut flour mixture and oil to the egg mixture, whisking until blended. Let batter stand for 5 minutes and then stir in the apples. Divide evenly among prepared cups.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes in the tin. Transfer muffins to a wire rack and cool completely.
