This apple sauce muffin recipe makes for a tasty snack.
Earlier this week Fin and I had a little baking day and made several things, including these Apple Sauce Muffins. They are tasty, moist (rare for gluten free baking!) and made of really simple ingredients that I think most people would have on hand.
I put together a double batch, and put half of them in my freezer. Now that we have such a fabulous kitchen, I am really enjoying preparing food for my little fam. Plus it feels really good to have a few made from scratch snacks on hand!
If you aren’t following a gluten free diet, you can easily substitute the 3/4 cup of oat flour for wheat flour. The apple sauce keeps the muffin moist- and I think I will experiment with different mix ins like nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips, in the future! G-free baking often scares me because of the long lists of weird flours, and extra ingredients- but this recipe just has oats and oat flour!
I am kind of excited about this new Recipe format I am introducing today. While I don’t share a ton of recipes, and am by no means a “food blogger”- it is such a handy format for you guys if you want to save it, pin it, or print it! YAY! Doesn’t it look nice?
I hope you have a great weekend! We are installing pot lights, and hopefully having a bit of down time too.

Notes
Butter is in the recipe directions but not in the ingredients. Too much oil & cinnamon for my taste. I will add more oats or oat flour. I think the recipe is worth tweeking and giving it another try. Thanks
Recipe directions state baking powder and baking powder but baking soda’s not in ingredient list. How much baking soda is needed?
Sorry Carol. It’s a typo- no baking soda needed!
