Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Vegan

I am always looking for new, easy and delicious muffins recipes that are gluten-free, dairy-free but taste like the real thing! You know those coffee shop varieties that taste basically like a cake? While we may love those muffins, we also know they are full of unhealthy fats and sugar that we should mostly avoid.

I made these muffins using grated apples, which provides a lot of the moisture that we see in those coffee shop kinds! Since we are also in the midst of a pandemic, I am using whatever ingredients I have in my cupboard, so for this recipe, I am using chickpea flour. I haven’t tested it with other kinds, but I am sure other GF options would work well! Chickpea flour does lend it its rich moist texture, but if you use another variety let me know in the comments how it turns out! For these muffins I used royal gala, but granny smith would work too.

There are other options to substitute based on what you have at home. You can sub the flax eggs for standard eggs or you can sub the olive oil for coconut. All of which I am sure will taste wonderful!
