Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Self-Rising Flour
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spices)
- 1/2 cup Unrefined Cane Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1/3 cup Light Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup Almond Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 12-hole muffin pan by lining it with silicone cups (recommended for the high moisture content in these muffins) or paper liners if preferred. If using paper liners, spray them generously with oil to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the unsweetened applesauce, light olive oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and unrefined cane sugar. Stir well to combine these ingredients thoroughly.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the self-rising flour and cinnamon until the batter is smooth and consistent, without lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Using a cooking dough scoop, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter to allow space for rising during baking.
- Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F (180°C). The muffins are ready when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack. Allow them to cool for approximately 30 minutes before serving to ensure they set properly and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Using silicone muffin cups is recommended due to the high moisture content, but well-oiled paper liners can also be used.
- You can substitute cinnamon with pumpkin pie spices for a different flavor profile.
- Unrefined cane sugar can be adjusted based on your sweetness preference.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
- These muffins are vegan as they contain no eggs or dairy.
