aip tigernut apple muffins

Prior to going aip, I was an avid baker. Muffins, cakes, pies, and cookies were a daily occurrence.

After a year of aip all I wanted was a muffin. A muffin that was moist and flavorful and coconut free. One single muffin. The struggle was real.

Aip coconut-free baking is NOT for the faint of heart.

But here it is! Finally. Completely compliant, delicious, and everything I was hoping for.
