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.

APPLESAUCE MUFFINS W/ AGAVE NECTAR
I needed to use up some applesauce my 3 year old wouldn't eat and came up with this recipe. We both loved them, so I guess I got him to eat that applesauce anyway! I love the way the edges carmelize. YUMMY! **Please see the reviews for a variation of the original recipe that should fix the rising problem.**

VEGAN AGAVE CORNBREAD MUFFINS
This vegan cornbread is made with whole-wheat flour and sweetened with agave syrup. It got votes as being better than traditional cornbread muffins by my anti-vegan roommates! They can also be made macrobiotic if you substitute the agave with maple syrup.

AGAVE SIMPLE SYRUP
This simple syrup is to be used as an equivalent of a regular sugar-based simple syrup in cocktails, coffee and tea drinks, etc. About Agave: Agave is a natural sweetener used in place of sugar. It has a glycemic index that is 40 percent lower than refined sugar and agave nectar is an optional sweetener for people who are diabetic; the sugars from agave nectar are released slowly into the bloodstream, keeping blood sugar at a more consistent level.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin and a 6-cup tin with paper liners. Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves together into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Put 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, the granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in eggs, one at a time. On low speed, mix in applesauce and then flour mixture. Stir in nuts by hand.
- Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, in the clean bowl of electric mixer, mix cream cheese with remaining 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and 1 cup brown sugar on medium speed until smooth. Spread cream-cheese frosting on muffins.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful apples. This will ensure that your muffins are packed with flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
These applesauce muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover applesauce. With their moist, flavorful crumb and sweet, tangy frosting, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
