Muffins Made With Applesauce

Applesauce muffins are a super cozy snack or breakfast! If you’ve never tried baking with applesauce before, here’s the scoop: it takes the place of refined sugars, but also adds a bunch of moisture to make your treats nice and moist! A jack of all trades, it also acts as an egg replacer. This muffin recipe is a great example of what applesauce can do for your baked goods. Not only are they sweet and moist, but lightly spiced for the perfect cozy flavor. These applesauce muffins have a pretty neutral flavor so feel free to throw in any additional mix-ins you’d like! Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even chocolate chips would all be delicious.

Ingredient List

A lot of pantry staples here! These are a simple treat to make and I LOVE that they’re made with all-natural ingredients. Plus, they’re egg-free and vegan! If you’re looking for exact measurements, they’re all in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Applesauce: The star of our show! Applesauce adds natural sweetness and moisture, keeping your muffins perfectly tender and delicious. It’s a great source of fiber, too! Psst- try making your own applesauce for the best flavor! Milk: Thins the batter slightly and contributes to the soft and tender crumb. Apple Cider Vinegar: For a touch of acidity. It also helps to keep the muffins tender. Maple Syrup: Another natural way to add sweetness! Vanilla Exacts: Rounds out all the flavors and adds warmth. Flour: Provides the structure that holds your muffins together. I used regular, all-purpose flour, but whole wheat flour is a great option too. Salt: Enhances all the other flavors. Baking Soda & Powder: Work together to make your muffins light and fluffy. Cinnamon: The warm spice that makes your applesauce muffins so cozy.

Preheat that oven and break out your muffin tin. These applesauce muffins cook up in 20 minutes and then are ready to be devoured!

Don’t Overmix: One of the best things about these applesauce muffins is how moist they are. So don’t overmix your batter! This will cause gluten to develop and make for a tough muffin. Add Fillings: Customize your muffins by mixing in chopped pecans, walnuts, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or some dried fruit. The versatile flavor of these muffins works well with so many different things! Add Toppings: Another way to jazz up your muffins is by adding a topping! Try a drizzle of white chocolate, chocolate, or salted caramel sauce, coarse sugar, or streusel topping!

At Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for 2 days. In the Fridge: Store for up to 5 days. I recommend popping refrigerated muffins in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying so they’re fresh and warm again!
