Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners, or use silicone muffin liners instead of paper liners.
  • In a large bowl add the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together fully.
  • Into the same bowl, add the almond flour, brown rice flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Using a whisk, mix the dry ingredients in fully, but do not overmix. Alternatively, you can use an electric mixer at medium speed here.
  • Divide batter between the prepared muffin pan. Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until you insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake and it comes out clean, or with a dry crumb.
  • Remove and cool on a wire rack.
  • Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, use a piping bag and frost with the healthy cream cheese frosting. On the top of each cupcake sprinkle the crushed freeze-dried apples.
