Do you love muffins, but hate grains??? Then you'll be wild about these grain-free Apple Cinnamon Nut Muffins! They came with me EVERYWHERE when I first eliminated gluten, dairy, soy, sugar and chicken eggs from my diet. I feared I'd be hungry and not have anything healthy that I can readily eat! These muffins and I go way back, long before I discovered yuca! They've remained a favorite of mine, my family, and everyone I've shared it with! They're super delicious, filling, and full of healthy fats! Once you try them please comment below and let me know what you think!
