Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup honey
2 large eggs
1/3 cup coconut oil (melted & cooled )
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
Up to 1/2 cup optional mix-ins:
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sugar (such as raw (turbinado) sugar or sparkling sugar, for sprinkling on top (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 10 wells in a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, honey, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. The batter will be a little lumpy. Gently stir in the rolled oats and any other desired mix-ins.
  • Divide evenly among the muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar, if desired. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place the muffin tin on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then gently remove the muffins from the pan (run a butter knife around the edges if the muffins are sticking) and let them cool completely on the wire rack.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup applesauce
3 tbsp oil OR applesauce or mashed banana
2 tbsp milk of choice
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp white or cider vinegar
1 cup spelt,
1/4 cup sugar or unrefined sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each: baking soda and baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
optional handful raisins, (crushed walnuts, shredded coconut, etc.)

Steps:

  • *If you want to make mini muffins, bake only 10 minutes. I recommend this mini muffin pan.Whisk all liquid ingredients together. Preheat oven to 350, and line a muffin tin. In a new bowl, stir remaining ingredients very well. Pour dry into wet, and stir until just evenly mixed. Fill each liner about 2/3 of the way, leaving a little room because they will rise. Bake on the center rack, 20 minutes or until muffins have domed and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean. Let cool. (If you loosely cover overnight on the counter or refrigerated, the liners peel off easily the next day and flavor and texture are even better.) Leftovers can be frozen if desired.
