Moist and Healthy Vegan Applesauce Muffins
These vegan applesauce muffins are a delightful combination of fluffiness and a light cinnamon flavor. They’re non-dairy, but taste just like regular muffins. Also healthy without tasting healthy at all.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup and 1/2 tbsp regular sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tbsp oil such as vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup and a tbsp nondairy (or regular) milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place cupcake liners in 9 muffin pan cavities, and spray lightly with oil.If you’re not using cupcake liners, just spray nine muffin cavities with oil or grease. Set aside.
- Add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Combine very well.
- Add in the applesauce and other wet ingredients. Mix well, but don’t over-mix; making sure to get to the flour at the bottom of the bowl.The batter will be fairly thick. Just add a bit more milk if the batter is overly thick..*There will be some smallish lumps in the batter. This is okay, as they will dissolve while the muffins bake*
- Divide the batter between the nine oiled/greased cupcake liners or muffin cavities. They should be 3/4 full.
- Bake from 20-22 minutes, or more if necessary. Cool slightly before serving.Important: check by testing the center of a muffin with a toothpick to confirm they’re fully baked throughout.
