Instructions

  • Warm the coconut oil until liquid. Bring the milk to room temperature, stir in the vinegar, and let it stand for a few minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the coconut oil, buttermilk mixture, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add both flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and allspice; stir just until combined. Fold in the apples and portion into a lined or greased muffin tin.

  • Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and the tops spring back when gently pressed.
