Welcome to November lovelies!
Normally I wouldn’t be overly excited that it is November because that means winter is right around the corner, but I am trying to be positive this year. It is much harder to be positive, but you always feel better when you are. So here are the reasons why I am excited for November:
- my birthday and my fiancé’s birthday is in November
- spending time with family inside
- gift giving brainstorming/shopping for others
- soon I’ll be able to decorate for Christmas a.k.a. my favourite holiday!
- comfort food
- sweaters and boots and cute hats/mittens/scarves
- building snowmen
- November break: I am traveling to Vancouver to spend time with my fiancé’s family!
I hope that these reasons give you some ideas for why you too can be excited for November!
This recipe was inspired by my last post which was a recipe for how to make your own Hot Apple Cider! What should you eat with hot apple cider? Apple cider muffins of course! Who doesn’t love cinnamon and apples? So try this recipe out and let me know in the comments how it was! Happy baking!

[…] Apple Cider Muffins (They are tasty, but next time I will be sure to roll them into balls, as dropping the dough into the muffin tins doesn’t make for the best consistency. This was also my first time using gelatin as an egg replacement.) […]
These are awesome! Tastes like apple pie. My favorite AIP treat yet! Thank you
I am so glad you love them, Lauren! Thanks for the feedback!
I made these as soon as I saw the post. Delicious!
Thanks, Deb! So glad you enjoyed them!
These were very good and I forgot to whip the gelatin egg to make it frothy too! I used clove instead of mace because I don’t care for mace. I will make these again for sure! Thanks!
Hi Mary! Thanks, glad you liked them!
How do you make gelatin eggs?
Prepare the gelatin egg- pour the water in a small pan. Slowly sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a thin layer and allow to bloom for 2 minutes. Turn the heat to medium low to melt the gelatin and then whisk until frothy.
