Applesauce Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups with non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • In a separate bowl mix your ingredients for the crumb topping.
  • Sprinkle the crumbs over the muffin mixture.
  • Put the muffins in the oven and bake 5 minutes at 400 degrees. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 10-14 minutes, or until the muffins are done. 
  • Let the muffins cool 1-2 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
