Topping

- Peal and cut 4-5 apples into squares and stew them with a tablespoon of water. When cooked remove half a cup of the stewed apples to make the apple crumble topping. (put the remaining stewed apples aside).
- Add the half a cup of stewed apple squares to the remaining crumble mixture and mix together and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius
- With the remaining stewed apple (which will be approximately 1 - 1.5 cups of stewed apples) mash and mix until the apple mixtures is a smooth pure texture.
- In a new bowl, add the almond flour, eggs, apple pure, honey, coconut oil and vanilla extract and mix with a hand held electric beater or thermomix. When well combined, add the bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice and mix again for a further 20 seconds or so. This will aid as a raising agent.
- Add the elderberries to the cake mixture and stir them in with a wooden spoon.
- Pour the mixture into muffin papers placed into a muffin tin.
- When the mixture is settled in the muffin papers, add the prepared topping ingredients on top and place into the preheated oven.
- Muffins will take approximately 25-30 minutes to cook. Keep an eye on them as almond flour is easy to burn (Don’t cook them in too high temperatures).
- Remove from the oven when cooked and allow to cool on a cooling tray. Serve with yoghurt, kefir or sourcream
Clinical Notes As with all stages of the GAPS diet, baked goods should only make up a small percentage of the diet and that the focus should be on healing nourishing foods, broths and juices.
