Chef Anthony demonstrates how to prepare these quick and easy 6 ingredient muffins using chickpea flour as the base.

Recipe: Chickpea Apple Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/3 cups chickpea flour (sifted, if lumpy)
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line 9 cups of a standard size muffin pan with paper or foil liners. (Optional: spritz the interior of the liners with cooking spray to prevent sticking)
2. In a large bowl, whisk the chickpea flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional salt until blended.
3. Add the applesauce and vanilla to the chickpea flour mixture, stirring until well-blended. Divide batter evenly between the 9 prepared muffin cups
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 23 to 27 minutes until golden brown, the tops are firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted near the center of a muffin comes out with only moist crumbs attached.
5. Cool the muffins, in the muffin tin, for 5 minutes. Remove the muffins from the tin and cool completely on a cooling rack.
