Ingredients

Scale
  • Wet Ingredients:

    • ½ cup applesauce (130g)
    • 1 egg
    • ½ cup milk (120ml)
    • ¼ cup oil (60ml)
  • Dry Ingredients:

    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 cup self-raising flour (150g)
  • Add-ins:

    • 1 medium apple, grated

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together applesauce, egg, milk, and oil until smooth.
  2. Add in cinnamon and self-raising flour. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
  3. Fold in the grated apple, making sure it’s evenly distributed.

Step 3: Fill & Bake

  1. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool & Serve

  1. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Self-raising flour contains baking powder – no need to add extra!
  • Grated apple adds moisture, making these muffins soft and tender.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
