Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.

Step 5

If using any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 6

Evenly divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
