Applesauce Muffins

These have replaced my zucchini muffins, mostly because I made a ton of applesauce over an open fire and now it has to go somewhere. The applesauce gives them a subtle smoky flavor. They’re kind of perfect. I love having muffins kicking around the house.

Ingredients

*makes about 10-12 muffins

~1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

~1 tsp baking soda

~½ tsp baking powder

~½ tsp salt

~1 ½ tsp cinnamon

~¼ tsp nutmeg

~½ cup brown sugar

~¼ cup granulated sugar

~1 cup unsweetened applesauce

~⅓ cup olive oil

~¼ cup of almond milk

~1 tsp vanilla

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin pan with butter or a neutral oil you like.

Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl whisk the wet ingredients: sugars, applesauce, oil, milk, and vanilla.

Fold the dry ingredients into the wet just until combined. Don’t overmix.

Divide into muffin tins, filling about 3/4 fill (they rise a bit)

Bake for 20-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean

Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
