Name: Apple Almond Chai Muffins | Natalie Cooks
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: ¾ cup (210g) unsalted creamy natural almond butter ((or any nut or seed butter)*); ¼ cup (57g) olive oil; ¼ cup (87g) maple syrup; 3 large eggs; 2 tsp (10g) vanilla extract; 1 cup (108g) walnuts, chopped; ¼ cup (38g) hemp seeds ((optional)**); 2 tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tsp ground ginger; 1 tsp ground cardamom; ¼ tsp ground cloves; ¼ tsp ground nutmeg; 1 tsp kosher salt; ½ tsp baking powder; 1 ½ cups finely chopped granny smith apples ((about 1 large or 2 medium)***); *I tested this using the Kirkland brand organic almond butter. It’s runny and smooth - if your nut or seed butter is thicker, then you may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of olive oil.; **This will give a protein boost, but you can skip and just add an extra ¼ cup chopped nuts.; ***Be sure to chop the apples finely so that you get an even distribution and better flavor.
