Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

Line 12 muffins tins with paper liners, or butter or use baking

Step 3

Beat 2 eggs with 6 tablespoons sunflower oil for a minute.

Step 4

Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce and mix. The mixture will thicken.

Step 5

Add ½ cup brown sugar and mix well.

Step 6

Add ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and mix.

Step 7

Sift dry ingredients (2 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon baking soda) and add them in two parts to the wet ingredients. You don't need to fully incorporate the first part before adding the second one. The less you mix, the fluffier the muffins will be. Mix with a spatula but don't beat at this point.

Step 8

Fill muffin cups, dividing as evenly as possible. Don't go over ¾ of thier capacity.

Step 9

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let cool on a wire rack. Eat warm or at room temperature.
