Ingredients
1.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (with Xanthan Gum)
0.5 cup Almond Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamo
0.5 tsp Nutmeg
0.5 tsp Sea Salt
2 large Granny Smith or Honeycrisp Apples (peeled and diced)

1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or Oat Milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a large glass bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt
- In a separate bowl, beat the pasture-raised eggs. Slowly whisk in the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk until uniform
- Gently fold the diced apples into the dry flour mixture first
- Pour the wet ingredients over the flour and apple mixture, folding together until just combined
- Scoop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten them

Notes
For a vegan version, replace the eggs with two flax eggs.
To make keto-friendly, swap the maple syrup with monk fruit sweetener.
