Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until everything is nicely blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds of the way full.
Baking

- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Optional: Add chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture. Muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container. For variations, try substituting part of the oil with melted butter or adding apple cider.
