Instructions

Preheat oven to 350’F. Line muffin tin with 12 unbleached paper liners (like these).
To prepare streusel: mix chopped nuts, fat of choice, honey (or syrup) and cinnamon. Set aside.
Combine almond flour, baking soda, sea salt, ginger, allspice, and clove in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 cup fat of choice, and honey (or syrup). Add dry ingredients and mix to combine. Fold in apple pieces.
Spoon out a heaping TBS of mixture into each lined muffin cup. Then divide streusel evenly among 12 muffins. Top with remaining muffin batter.
Bake for 20-24 minutes, until muffins are golden brown.
While muffins are cooling,using a hand blender, cream together all frosting ingredients until smooth. Place in fridge for a few minutes to harden if too soft. Once muffins are completely cool, frost your muffins any way that you feel inspired. ENJOY!
