Apple Applesauce Muffins

By barbsjustagirl

One of the biggest questions asked when I make a recipe with butter or oil is "can I replace the butter with apple sauce"? I wish it was that easy in every case. Since applesauce has a completely different texture than butter it doesn't work every time,...

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 2 2 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup honey
• 1 1 1 large egg
• 1 1 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, buttermilk, honey, egg, and vanilla.

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the apples.

Pour batter into greased muffin cups, about 3/4 full and bake 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
