Join the discussionThese look so yummy! Not sure if this has been covered, but can I make the batter, pour into muffin cups and freeze uncooked?
I have never tried that. But I don’t think batters freeze as well as the baked muffin. When I freeze muffins, I usually put them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds and they taste like they just came out of the oven.
Can I use coconut oil to substitute for applesauce? I don’t have applesauce on hand.
I think that would work ok!
These are so delicious! We all love them and had fun making them. Thank you for sharing:)
I made these a few days ago & just want to suggest that you use the applesauce and not substitute with brown sugar like I did. They taste great, but really need the extra mosture from the applesauce.
Why the two sweetners? Wouldn’t it work to just add double the first sugar and leave out the second?
The second is just a note to use a natural sweetener in your applesauce if you make it from scratch as suggested. I have also used unsweetened applesauce and it works just fine.
How would the baking time change if I were to use individual loaf pans instead of a muffin tin? (I don’t have one! Lol)
If you’re talking about a 9 x 5 loaf pan, they usually take 50-60 minutes. If you have the mini loaf pans, probably 30-45. I don’t know an exact time though because I’ve never tried it.
I love this recipe! I added one more apple and raisins. Delicious and healthy!
Made a double batch of these tonight! My husband and I already ate a bunch… oops! I make my own fresh apple sauce by putting a few apples in the Vitamix. So I just added the measurements for the apple sauce and grated apple together and made a chunky apple sauce instead. They aren’t as sweet, but I prefer it that way.This is my new favorite muffin recipe!!
Do you know approximately how many calories are in each muffin?
I’m sorry, we do not calculate nutritional information for our whole foods recipes. Only for our diet recipes. But you can input the ingredients online and calculate them yourself.
Can the sucanat be substituted with another sweetener or left out completely?
Hi Lori, you could sub with another sweetener. I’m not sure that it should be left out completely – perhaps taste the batter and then make a decision?
