Ingredients
    Muffins
  • 1 cup apple cider (organic, not vinegar)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (organic, nonfat)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (organic)
  • 4 tbsp butter (grass fed, unsalted, like Kerrygold)
  • 2 eggs (organic, room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup brown monk fruit (or preferred brown sugar substitute)
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (organic; oat flour also works)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
    • Donut Topping
  • 1 tbsp butter (grass fed unsalted)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granular monk fruit (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly spray a muffin pan or line with parchment cups.
  2. 2
    Add the apple cider to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it bubble for about 8 minutes, or until it reduces to 1/2 cup. You can skip this step and simply measure out 1/2 cup cider, but reducing it really boosts the apple flavor.
  3. 3
    Pour the reduced cider into a measuring cup or small bowl and let it cool until it’s warm but not steaming. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla.
  4. 4
    Melt the butter in the same saucepan. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. 5
    In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  6. 6
    In a stand mixer, beat the eggs and brown monk fruit until smooth and lightly frothy.
  7. 7
    With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle in the melted butter.
  8. 8
    Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, alternating with the cider and yogurt mixture. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  9. 9
    Divide the batter into your muffin pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops spring back and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. 10
    While the muffins bake, prepare the topping. Stir together monk fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  11. 11
    When the muffins are done and slightly cooled, lightly spread a little butter on top and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon donut mixture.
