Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the apple sauce, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla and whisk again. Add the spices, sea salt, almond flour, and baking soda and whisk thoroughly. Stir in the diced apple, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
Add the spices, sea salt, almond flour, and baking soda and whisk thoroughly. Stir in the diced apple, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling them to the very top. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan and letting them cool completely on a cooling rack - see notes.

Notes

Don't worry about filling the muffin liners too full; Paleo muffins don't expand as much when cooked as regular muffins.
Make sure to let the muffins cool completely before you eat them. If you try to peel the muffin liner off while the muffins are even a little warm, it is likely to stick.
The muffins can be stored in a sealed container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
