Low Carb Apple Crumb Muffins

Print Recipe

These low carb apple cardamom crumb muffins (no sugar) are tender, cozy, and bakery-soft—made with almond flour, oat fiber, and real apple for flavor without compromise.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup oat fiber
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup brown erythritol or Sukrin Gold
  • 1 grated Granny Smith apple (moisture lightly squeezed)
  • Crumb Topping:
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp brown erythritol
  • 2 tbsp cold butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment or silicone liners.
  2. Grate the apple and gently press out moisture using a towel.
  3. In a bowl, mix almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, sweetener, and grated apple.
  5. Combine wet and dry mixtures just until batter forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Let the batter rest for 5–7 minutes to hydrate.
  7. Divide batter into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.
  8. Prepare crumb topping by mixing almond flour, sweetener, and cold butter until crumbly. Top each muffin.
  9. Bake 18–20 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed flour. Muffins can be frozen raw or baked. To make as a loaf, use an 8×4-inch pan and bake at 315°F for 40–50 minutes.
