Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
