Equipment

  • Jumbo or regular muffin pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp applesauce (30 g) sub mashed banana
  • 1 tbsp (nut) milk (15 g) I use unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tsp sugar (8 g)
  • 1 tsp oil (5 g) add another tsp for even richer texture
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup flour (30 g) gf all purpose if desired
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Chocolate filling

  • 1 tsp nut/seed butter (5 g) I use tahini
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (7 g)
  • 1/2 tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease one jumbo or 2 regular muffin cavities. You can also try a 1/2 cup ramekin and it will be a mug cake.
  • Mix applesauce, milk, sugar, oil, vanilla.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, pinch of salt.
  • Combine the two (don’t overmix, only fold).
  • Mix nut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder. Thin it with some almond milk if it's pasty.
  • Pour half batter into muffin cavity, add filling, pour other half.
  • Bake 23-25 min until a knife inserted comes out mostly clean.
  • Enjoy your fresh bakery muffin!!

Notes

  • Pro-tip: If you want a really dome-y muffin, bake the first 5 minutes at 425F.
  • This recipe will make 1 jumbo or 2 snack sized muffins. Baking time will be a few minutes shorter for snack sized.
  • This recipe will make a moist muffin as pictured but if you want an even richer texture, add one more tsp of oil.
