Paleo Apple Cinnamon Muffins

After recently making a cake with 3 cups sugar (it was so good, link posted soon!), I was feeling a little guilty. I searched for a healthier muffin recipe and landed on this amazingly simple 7-ingredient recipe. The bulk of the muffin is made up of almond butter which makes it a great choice for a morning muffin. Say goodbye to the 10 o'clock slump. 

I can't wait to change the apple for zucchini or some berries. 

Can't take the credit for this one! 

A big thanks to the Natural Nurturer who created this recipe. This is more of a thanks post to her.

• 1 cup almond butter
