  1. These look so yummy! Not sure if this has been covered, but can I make the batter, pour into muffin cups and freeze uncooked?

    1. 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.

  4. 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.

    1. 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.

  6. 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)

    1. 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.

  8. 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!!

    1. 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.

    1. 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?
