Breakfast
Apple Cinnamon Muffins + Homemade Wild Blueberry Chia Jam

07.21.2021

My mom would make these “surprise” muffins on the weekends and fill each one with a different flavor of jam. My favorite was always blackberry but I love all jam so I was always satisfied. And I always had the excuse to have more so that I could find my favorite. These are a little more complex but still remind me of those delicious little surprises. They are bursting with juicy homemade blueberry chia jam, heavy on the vanilla, along with tart, spiced cinnamon apples and almond butter. These are hearty, healthy and so so good.

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup crunchy almond butter
  • 1/3 cup lakanto sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
  • 3/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    Grease a 6 cup jumbo muffin tin with nonstick coconut oil spray.

Wild Blueberry Chia Jam:

  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the blueberries. Stir in the maple syrup, sea salt and vanilla.
    Once the blueberries begin to fall apart, add the chia seeds and stir well.
    Let the mixture come to a slow boil, stirring frequently.
    Continue stirring over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat.
    Store the leftover jam in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Apple Cinnamon muffins:

  • Dice apples into small cubes, set aside.
    Combine oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
    Combine the olive oil, almond butter, lakanto sugar and beat with a whisk.
    Add the remaining wet ingredients and whisk well.
    Stir in the diced apples.
    Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
    Pour into greased muffin tins.
    Top each muffin with a tablespoon of the blueberry chia jam. Drizzle with melted almond butter, if desired.
    Bake muffins for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

Hi, I’m Arianna

Behind each of my recipes, you will find a thoughtfully curated balance of sweet and savory flavors creating intrigue for both the eye and palette. Desserts to me, are about thoughtfulness and imagination while keeping a healthy balance in mind. In my eyes, the process of architectural design and the process of creating a recipe then composing its structure as one in the same.
