Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
