Steps:

Chop apples to about 1/2 inch dice and set aside. Grind flax seed. Mix streusel topping and set aside. Measure out all dry ingredients, mix well and set aside.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream all wet ingredients in mixer bowl. Make sure eggs and yogurt are not ice cold from the fridge, so they don't solidify the coconut oil. Mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in dry fruit, nuts, or ?.
  • 3. Scoop the batter into lined muffin tins almost 3/4 full. Top with streusel mixture. Bake for about 25 minutes or until light brown. Enjoy!
