Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a mini muffin pan with vegetable oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, blend the granulated sugar, applesauce, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth.
Using a small scoop or spoon, fill each cavity of the mini muffin pan about two-thirds full with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the Tim Bits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the Tim Bits cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Roll the warm Tim Bits in additional cinnamon sugar or dust with powdered sugar for extra flavor.
