Homemade Applesauce Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter, ensuring even distribution.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
