Applesauce Muffins
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep 🕒 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. If you prefer, you can also grease the tin with some butter or cooking spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients 🍂 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This mix will give your muffins that cozy, autumn spice we all love! 🍁
- Combine Wet Ingredients 🍎 In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract. The applesauce not only adds flavor but also keeps the muffins incredibly moist! 🍏
- Bring It All Together 👩🍳 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—just enough to incorporate everything.
- Fill and Bake 🔥 Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell amazing by now! 🤤
- Cool and Enjoy 😋 Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, if you’re like me, enjoy one warm straight from the oven! 🧁
