Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
¼ cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup honey or maple syrup, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
