Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins (with Gluten Free Option)

Three of our favorites in one...cinnamon....applesauce...muffins! These are great for snack, breakfast, or even dessert.  Double your batch because they go fast!

Cinnamon Applesauce Muffins (with Gluten Free Option)

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (homemade is best if you have it)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups flour (I used Jules GF Flour)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

 Combine dry ingredients.

Beat together butter and sugar, then add eggs.  Beat on medium for 20-30 seconds.
 Add applesauce.
 Mix until combined. 
 Dump in flour mixture. 
Mix just until dry ingredients are wet.
Scoop into greased muffin pan. (I have not tried these with papers so I don't know if they will work well or not.) 
I filled mine fairly full using all of the batter.  It is thick.  If you have peaks on your muffin batter you can wet your fingers a little and tap them down.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool in pans for at least 5 minutes then finish cooling on rack.  
 Eat now or freeze for another time.

    Sounds similar to some applesauce bars we enjoy. I should try you recipe since it's gluten free.

    Hi Jenny! I keep encouraging my kids to cook and bake and they are really starting to get in to it. They really like making anything they find especially delicous like muffins. We need to try these real soon. My daughter is cracking me up. She is my little shadow in the kitchen. I love it!
