Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Coconut sugar (or another unrefined sweetener)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted and cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Dairy-free mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with a gluten-free baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, coconut sugar, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
If you're using dairy-free mini chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
