Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon All spice
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg, room temperature
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Raisins, optional
-
To make your applesauce muffins, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and adding liners to a muffin tin.
-
Add the flour, cinnamon, allspice, and baking soda to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
-
Whisk the ingredients together until they’re combined and free of any clumps.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for a few minutes or until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg, applesauce, and vanilla and beat again until smooth.
-
If you are adding raisins, take about 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and place it in a small bowl with the raisins.
-
Toss the raisins until they are completely coated in flour.
-
Add the remaining flour mixture into the wet ingredients slowly, stirring just until combined.
-
Fold the raisins gently into the batter.
-
Use a cookie scoop to portion the batter into the prepared muffin tin.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center is clean once removed.
-
When the muffins are baked, remove them from the tin and let them cool on a wire rack.
-
Serve the muffins warm out of the oven!
