Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a muffin pan with cooking spray or paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, sugar, oil, ground flax seeds, and soymilk.
    A hand holds a spatula and reaches in to stir golden colored liquid in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Optional: Add pecans to the flour mixture. Next, add the applesauce mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
    A flour mixture is in a glass bowl.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling them about ⅔ full. Optional: Add a few raw oats to the top of each muffin for decoration.
    A hand holds a scoop, dropping batter into muffin compartments in a muffin pan.
  • Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Insert a tester into one of the muffins to see if it comes out clean. The edges of the top of the muffins should be golden brown.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
