Amazing Applesauce Muffins: 1 Bowl Joy

Q: Can I use sweetened applesauce instead of unsweetened?

Great question! You absolutely can use sweetened applesauce, but you might want to cut back a little on the brown sugar in the recipe. Sweetened applesauce can make things a tad too sweet, and we want to keep these as perfectly balanced as possible. Plus, using unsweetened lets us control the sugar content, which is key for healthy applesauce muffins . So, while it's doable, unsweetened really is the best bet for these one bowl applesauce muffins !

Q: Can I make these gluten-free and low-sugar at the same time?

Absolutely! These applesauce muffins are super adaptable. To make them gluten-free, just use a good quality all-purpose gluten-free flour blend in place of the regular flour. For the low-sugar aspect, you can reduce the brown sugar as mentioned, or try using a sugar substitute that measures cup-for-cup like erythritol or a monk fruit blend. They turn out just as wonderfully moist and flavorful!

Question 2

My muffins came out a little dry. What did I do wrong?

Accepted Answer

Oh no! Dry muffins are the worst, aren’t they? Usually, this happens for a couple of reasons. The most common culprit is overmixing the batter. Remember, you only want to mix until just combined – a few lumps are actually a good thing! Another thing could be overbaking. Try checking them a minute or two earlier next time. Using unsweetened applesauce also really helps keep them moist, so make sure that’s what you’re using!

Question 3

Can I make these applesauce muffins vegan?

Accepted Answer

You know, these are already so moist and delicious, making them vegan is pretty straightforward! You'll just need to swap out the eggs and milk. For the eggs, you can use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes) or another commercial egg replacer. For the milk, any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk will work perfectly. Easy peasy!
