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.
