Easy Applesauce Mini Muffins
Servings 40 mini muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 very ripe mashed banana
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 and ½ cup quick cook oats
- ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 and spray a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray. (If you are making regular sized muffins, heat the oven to 400 degrees)
- In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients. (applesauce, mashed banana, egg, milk, vanilla extract)
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. (flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt)
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. I like to add the dry mixture to the wet in a few batches, stirring in-between each until everything is combined.
- Add in the raisins and stir just until they are incorporated throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the greased muffin pan. Each cup should take about a heaping tablespoon of batter.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. (if making regular sized muffins, bake for 15-16 minutes.)
- Let cool in the pan then remove and store in an airtight container for no longer than 5 days.
