Gluten Free Apple Butter Muffins

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour, gluten free (or regular)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 8 oz natural, unsweetened applesauce (or 2 individual serving applesauce cups)
  • 1/2 cup egg whites
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 6 heaping tsp apple butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° and grease a muffin pan.
  • Whisk together all dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, egg whites, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not over-mix. The batter should be pretty light, with some small air bubbles.
  • Evenly pour batter into the 12 greased cavities of your muffin pan.
  • Add a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of apple butter to the top of each muffin, then gently swirl with a toothpick. You want the apple butter to be swirled on the top surface of the muffin.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Allow time for the muffins to cool before removing from the muffin pan.
