Cook Time

Servings
12 muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup Vegan milk (almond, soy, or oat)
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts or raisins (optional)

Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well. This will prevent the muffins from sticking.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegan milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped nuts or raisins, if using.

Fill Muffin Cups and Bake

Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
