Instructions
 

How to make applesauce muffins

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a mini muffin pan (see note below to use a standard 12 cup muffin pan).
  • In a large mixing bowl place the applesauce, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla. Mix together until well combined.
  • In a separate medium sized bowl combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
  • Add the dry ingredient mixture to the large mixing bowl, in small increments. As you add, stir to combine with a silicone scraping spatula. Tip: Do not overmix. Stir just enough to combine the ingredients.
  • Gently stir in oats.
  • With a spoon, scoop and place batter into mini muffin pan. You will want to fill them until nearly to the top.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes. Watch for the edges to begin to brown.
  • Let cool for a few minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Top with cream cheese glaze, plain cream cheese, sunflower butter, jam, or butter.

How to make cream cheese glaze

  • In a medium size bowl, add in softened cream cheese and butter. Make sure they are softened to avoid clumps.
  • With a hand mixer, beat until smooth.
  • Add in sifted powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. With the hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Add additional milk if you are looking to thin out glaze more. Add more powdered sugar to thicken it.
  • Place the glaze in a Ziploc bag and clip a small part of the corner off with scissors.
  • Drizzle the glaze onto the muffins.

Notes

For a standard 12 cup muffin pan, bake at 350 degrees for 17-21 minutes. 
Do not overmix the batter, this will help to prevent dense muffins.
Delicious toppings: cream cheese glaze, sunflower butter, honey, butter, cream cheese, strawberry jam.
