Ingredients

• 2 cups spelt flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.5 cups maple syrup
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or melted coconut oil)
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the applesauce, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and oil until well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this may result in dense muffins.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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