How many times have I said that muffins are my love language?!
It’s 100% possible to have a food love language. Ribs and mashed potatoes would be another top contender.
I think I love muffins so much because in my book they are an anytime food. Breakfast. Morning snack. Afternoon snack. Dessert.
It covers all the bases!
We’ve been swimming in muffin land since I started working on this recipe.
For almost every recipe I’ll make a regular batch and a gluten free batch.
Then I was testing out different crumb toppings.. 48 muffins later.
There is no way Ryan and I can consume all of the food I make & test, so a ton of it goes to work with Ryan on a pretty regular basis.
But this week I dropped some muffins off at our church and they were a bit hit! I should make that a regular thing.
Questions about the recipe
No. That’s what I choose to use, but you could use regular applesauce or even cinnamon applesauce. I wouldn’t suggest using chunky applesauce as it will change the texture of the muffins.
Nope! Crumble is gooooood, but sometimes I want a less sweet muffin so skip the crumble if you want to! The baking time will be about the same.
Baking the muffins at an initial higher temperature helps the muffins rise quickly, creating more of a domed muffin top – which everyone loves!
I’m not sure! I almost always use muffin liners but if you don’t and you’ve had good success without them, comment and let me know!
Yes! Allow the muffins to cool completely. I like to wrap two muffins together (the bottoms of the muffins touching) in plastic wrap, then place all the wrapped bundles in a ziplock bag.
To thaw, either let them come to room temperature on the counter or place as many as you need in the microwave for 15 second intervals.
