Who needs a bakery when you can whip up these cinnamon-y breakfast treats at home? A fast and easy muffin recipe made with applesauce and cinnamon.

The trick to a nice, fluffy muffin is to be sure not to overmix the batter. As with any muffin recipe, mix the batter just until combined and no visible streaks of flour remain; it’s ok if there are a few lumps, though.

I used Homemade Applesauce to make these muffins. If you use unsweetened applesauce in this recipe, then I would suggest adding another 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.

This is a really basic recipe for Applesauce Muffins, but it’s easy to jazz them up. For a little variety, you can add in raisins, dried apricots, dried cranberries or cherries, chopped apple chunks, chocolate chips, or nuts. Or you can add a streusel topping like the one used on my Banana Crumb Bread. Or dip the tops of the muffins into cinnamon sugar when they are still warm from the oven.
