Low Carb Grain Free Apple Crumb Muffins
Low Carb Grain Free Apple Crumb Muffins are the perfect fall breakfast or snack!
Of course when apple picking season is happening, my family gets on board.
It’s a tradition and a much loved one at that.
Since my children were little we’ve taken them to an apple orchard to ride a tractor and scour the fields for the juicest, prettiest and sweetest apples we could find.
One reason I have loved partnering with Silk this year with their #inspired campaign is the simple fact it reminded me to get my kids involved more with everything I do on a day to day basis in the kicthen.
This months recipe is all about apples and my daughter. The one who begged for about 30 pounds from picking apples to make all sorts of things.
She worked for it. But not too hard.
I did buy this cool apple, corer, peeler, slicer thing which made her life much easier.
I’m sure that would not have been the case or the happiest of faces if she had to use a regular old apple peeler and had to core them and peel.
Since it was her idea for muffins, she was in the kitchen. Of course that giant bowl of apples also made delicious apple chips and another recipe coming your way next week so stay tuned!
What’s even tastier on top that crumb topping is this sweet sugar free glaze made with Silk unsweetened coconut milk.
Just 3 ingredients and you’ve got a fabulous, quick and easy glaze to throw on any muffin or use over pancakes even.
In the fridge that glaze will harden a bit so just reheat slightly in microwave. I enjoyed my muffin cold right from the fridge but dear daugther chose to slice and reheat in the toaster with a bit of butter.
However you make, do it together after an afternoon of apple picking or shopping or something fun together. I’m always more inspired when my kids and I get together and bake and I hope you are too!

I just made these! They are so amazingly delicious! The house smells heavenly! They remind me of Amish friendship bread with apples and cinnamon 🙂 my favorite combination. Thanks for posting
Thank you Olga!
The measurements don’t make sense. I like the way the recipe looks and would have loved to make it, but I couldn’t figure out how much flaxseed, apple and vanilla extract
currently a problem with recipe plug in, glitchy, working on fixing it
This does look good – and I have a question.
I don’t use Swerve, or sugar alchohols, stevia is my choice yet I wonder about the recipe working. Would the use of dry or liquid stevia change the muffin? Is there a “bulk” issue in the recipe if a more concentrated less bulk sweetener is used?
If possible I would like to make it work. 🙂
I think that you would need to find a sub for the Swerve. If you’re just using liquid stevia there would be some missing “bulk” to the recipe. I’ve found since baking without sugar for 12 years now, using a combo of both sugar free sweeteners makes for the best baked goods.
What the heck is sesame flour and what can I use to substitute for it? The same with the Swerve, please!
I have a son with a tree nut and peanut allergy so I use either sunflower or sesame instead of typical almond flour that one would use in low carb baking. You can find both online and click the link in the recipe to see the ones I used.. Swerve is a granulated sugar free substitute that makes baked goods wonderful without spiking blood sugar.
Oh my, these muffins looks so soft and moist and those crumbs are on point! Its like eating dessert for breakfast in a muffin form!
