Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 3/4 cup Warm water
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal or semolina for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the applesauce, milk, melted butter, and the foamy yeast mixture. Stir to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air and transfer it back to the floured surface. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 6

Using a round cutter or a glass about 3 inches in diameter, cut out circles of the dough. Re-roll the scraps as needed to use all the dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle a baking tray with cornmeal or semolina and transfer the cut-out dough circles onto the tray, spacing them out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the tray with the kitchen towel and let the muffins rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the muffins onto the griddle and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the inside is cooked through.

Step 10

Let the muffins cool on a wire rack before serving. Slice them and enjoy with your favorite sugar-free spreads or toppings.
