Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Almond essence (nut-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with a non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients by combining applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond essence. Whisk them together until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
