Ingredients

  • 2 cups applesauce (preferably homemade*)
  • 1 1/4 cups grated peeled apple (from about 2 apples)
  • 3 eggs (beaten)
  • 1/2 cup oil (I use olive oil or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with paper liners (you will need 18 in total, so may need to make these in 2 batches depending on the size of your tin).

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the applesauce, grated apple, eggs, oil and vanilla.
  3. In a separate large bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients and stir.  Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until it is just incorporated.

  4. Divide the batter among the muffin tins and bake until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean with no crumbs,Ā approximately 25-30 minutes.

Recipe Notes

*peel, core, and dice 1.5 lb of apples, place in medium saucepan with 1/4 c. water and a dash of cinnamon and cook on medium-low heat until apples are soft
