These healthy, gluten free and vegan coffee cake muffins have a very special topping using crushed Anzac biscuits. Feel free to use your biscuits of choice for an easy streusel, but I love GF Oats’ Australian Anzac biscuits because they have the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness. With a stewed apple and cinnamon icing topping these muffins make for a delicious dessert or brekkie!
