Easy Applesauce Muffins

"These are the best. Both my kids, ages 4 and two love them. I will double the batch and freeze them. They are great for on the go breakfasts."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 2⁄3 cup brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups chunky applesauce

directions

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with bake cups and set aside.
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for about 30 to 60 seconds; set aside to cool slightly.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a large mixing bowl. When mixing dry and wet ingredients for muffins, gently stir just until the flour disappears. This will produce muffins with a nice crumbly texture.
4. In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar. Stir in the applesauce and melted butter until the mixture is smooth. For mess-free muffins, use an ice-cream scoop to spoon the batter into the bake cups.
5. Pour the apple mixture over the flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined (it's ready when you can't see any traces of flour).
6. Fill the bake cups about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until light brown.

I made these for the 15 high school youths that came over after Prom at 4:30 AM this morning. Everyone that had a muffin really liked them. They are easy to make and I like the fact you just mixed it up by hand. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I made this for the Spring PAC 2007 game
