Ingredients
- ¼ cup of applesauce
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- ¾ cup of sugar
- 1 cup of grated apple (I used Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups of flour
- ¼ teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ cup of raisins or vegan chocolate chips (optional)
- ½ cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, oil, sugar, apples, and vanilla in a bowl. Then add the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, raisins or vegan chocolate chips (if using), and walnuts (if using), and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased muffin pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes
- Measure the flour correctly: First, fluff it up in the flour bag using a fork/spoon, then use a spoon to transfer it to your measuring cup. Finally, use the back of a knife to level out the top of the measuring cup.
- Don’t over-mix the muffin batter: Or the gluten will become overworked, and these eggless apple muffins may end up dense. A few small lumps are okay.
- Adjust the apple texture: If you prefer bigger bites of apple, use a combination of shredded and finely diced apple (around ¼-inch cubes).
