Applesauce Muffins

 I needed to use some applesauce that I canned.  I adjusted a banana bread recipe that I like...this is the result.

Applesauce Muffins

1/4 c. oil

2 eggs

2 t. vanilla

1/2  c. sugar (or stevia)

1/4 c. brown sugar 

2 c. applesauce

2 c. flour

2 t. cinnamon

1/2 t. nutmeg

1/2 t. cloves

1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

Combine in mixing bowl:  oil, eggs, vanilla, sugars and applesauce; beat well.

Sift together the remaining ingredients and add to the wet mixture.  Mix until just combined; it's ok to be lumpy.  Scoop into cupcake pan, lined with cupcake liners.  Makes 12 muffins.  

Bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes.  

Parker only likes these if they are sprinkled with mini chocolate chips before baking.  A great addition!!   

These freeze well.  I often double the recipe.  It can be made into a loaf, pour into a sprayed loaf pan, baking 30-40 minutes.
