Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (6 oz/170 g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 2/3 cup (8 oz/225 g) honey
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (2 1/2 fl oz/71 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (6 oz/170 g) Almond Flour Baking Mix
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (1 1/2 oz/43 g) gluten-free old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Set this aside for later.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another medium bowl, mix together the almond flour baking mix, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and gluten-free old-fashioned oats to evenly distribute all dry components.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. It’s okay to have a few lumps; overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  6. Cool the Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs helps ensure better mixing and a smoother batter.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with light olive oil or melted coconut oil if preferred.
  • If you don’t have almond flour baking mix, you can use a homemade gluten-free flour blend suitable for baking.
  • Make sure to use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe safe for gluten sensitivity.
  • These muffins freeze well; wrap them tightly and thaw before serving.
