Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk, maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a slightly lumpy batter is okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
