Tonight I wanted to have a very fall supper, almost a Thanksgiving dinner dry run. It wasn't on the scale a traditional end of November meal might be, but it was mighty good!
My family isn't big on turkey, so tonight I cooked a chicken stuffed with pumpkin, mushrooms, and shallots. I served the chunky pumpkin and mushrooms as a side dish along with some sauteed spinach with onions and a side of my cranberry relish for the chicken! Mom and dad both enjoyed it and we even ended with a dessert of Paleo apple cinnamon muffins! I found a few recipes for this that could be done in the microwave, but I didn't have everything on hand so I had to improvise! It worked out really well. Even dad ate dessert! (He doesn't like nuts, but he could hardly tell with his ice cream on top...)
Apple Cinnamon Dessert Muffins
6 Tbsp almond meal
2 eggs
1 tsp walnut oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbsp raw honey
1 Tbsp apple butter
1 Tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 apple chopped
1/2 apple sliced
#1 - Mix everything but the apple together in a bowl.
#2 - Divide the chopped apple pieces between three microwave safe tea cups.
#3 - Divide cake mixture between the three tea cups.
#4 - Microwave each tea cup separately for 1 min. The cake will rise above the cup and then settle.
#5 - Let each cup rest 1 min. Place a few apple slices on top and microwave another 30-40 seconds.
Enjoy your hot Apple dessert cake in a cup!
Yield: 3 individual servings
Honestly, there would have been pictures but we were in the middle of dinner. I will have to make them again soon!
I love it!
