Simple Applesauce Muffins
Description
Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and ground ginger are combined first to distribute spices evenly. The wet mixture incorporates applesauce, egg, vegetable oil, sugar, and buttermilk to provide moisture and tenderness. After mixing the wet and dry components, toasted chopped walnuts are folded in for texture.
The batter fills muffin tins about two-thirds to three-quarters full, baked at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, around 20-25 minutes. The resulting muffins are soft and moist with warm spice notes throughout. Toasting the walnuts brings out their aroma and adds contrast to the soft crumb. These straightforward muffins showcase applesauce’s mild sweetness and spice without additional fruit chunks.
