Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth and well blended.
Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough muffins.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm, and enjoy your sugar-free cornbread muffins plain or with your favorite toppings!
