Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded apple, peeled and grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth.
Mix in the egg until fully incorporated, then stir in the milk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded apple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Delightful Apple Spice Mini Muffins warm or at room temperature!
