These muffins are moist, flavorful, and perfect for fall. Made with simple pantry ingredients and no eggs, the applesauce adds natural sweetness and keeps them light and fluffy. With warm cinnamon spice and a tender texture, these muffins make for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, oil, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
Add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 of the way full. I like to use a cookie scoop.
Bake 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Makes 12 muffins.
