Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ((melted and slightly cooled))
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-4 tablespoons sprinkles ((the classic kind, not nonpareil style))
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. VERY gently fold In sprinkles. Do not over-mix or they may start to bleed.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin pan, using about 1 1/2 tablespoons batter in each cup. Top with additional sprinkles if desired.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly. Transfer to a wire rack, using a knife around the edges to loosen if needed, and let cool.
