Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Applesauce (unsweetened)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the applesauce, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter equally into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
