Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grapeseed oil, and agave nectar. Blend the wet ingredients into the coconut flour mixture with a handheld mixer until thoroughly combined, then fold in the apples.
Step 3
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.
Step 4
Bake for 18 to 23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 hour, then frost and serve.
