Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Coconut sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups Molasses
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the coconut sugar, applesauce, molasses, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the almond milk and melted coconut oil to the wet mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can create dense muffins.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
