Applesauce Muffins Gluten Free
These Applesauce Muffins Gluten Free are the kind of muffins I like to keep around for easy breakfasts, afternoon snacks, or those mornings when everyone seems to be hungry five minutes after breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1½ cups finely milled white rice flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup neutral oil
- ¼ cup milk or unsweetened dairy-free milk
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts pecans, raisins, or finely diced apple (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together rice flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk applesauce, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Fold in any optional add-ins.
- Fill and bake: Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Rest the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool before serving.
