Applesauce Muffins for Toddlers
Soft, naturally sweetened applesauce muffins for toddlers made with oat and almond flour. A healthy, no added sugar snack that’s perfect for picky eaters, breakfast, or easy meal prep.
Equipment
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs or flax eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter, coconut oil, or olive oil
- ¼ cup milk any will work!
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups oat flour or can sub all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until combined.
- Stir in the applesauce, eggs, melted butter (or oil), milk, and vanilla.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes (this helps the oat flour absorb). Fold in any add-ins, then scoop into a lined or greased muffin tin (about ¾ full).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Notes
- These muffins are soft and slightly denser than traditional muffins due to the oat and almond flour. Letting the batter rest helps improve texture and structure.
- If batter feels too thick, add a few extra splashes of milk. If too thin, add 1-2 tablespoon oat flour.
- If using all-purpose then sub out the oat and almond flour, replace with 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour!
