It’s officially autumn, the bountiful season of ripe pumpkins and apples and blackberries!

I am lucky to have wild blackberries and apples in my garden, so I made some yummy, healthy muffins with these seasonal fruits and wanted to share them with you…

These muffins are gluten free, are made with ground almonds rather than wheat flour and are sweetened with honey rather than sugar.

They use olive oil rather than butter, so are perfect for anyone who is gluten or dairy free, or who is watching the amount of sugar they eat. The soft fruit in the batter keeps them moist, unctuous and bursting with goodness!

Each muffin contains roughly 175kcal, 6g of protein and 8g of carbohydrate, so makes a lighter treat to have with a cup of tea, for some autumnal cosiness.

Ingredients.

  • 220g ground almonds
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs plus 2 egg whites
  • 80g honey
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 135g blackberries
  • 70g finely chopped apple, cored and peeled

Instructions.

  • Pre heat oven to 160 fan or 180 regular
  • Line 12 muffin tins with cases
  • Mix dry ingredients together: almond flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon
  • Beat wet ingredients: eggs, egg whites, honey, olive oil, vanilla, lemon zest and juice
  • Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients
  • Fold in blackberries and apple
  • Spoon into muffin cases
  • Bake for about 20 minutes till light brown and cooked, but still slightly moist
  • Cool, until you can’t resist eating one!

The recipe is adapted from a blueberry muffin recipe from The Lemonbowl.
