  • 1 large egg

How to Make Applesauce Muffins W Agave Nectar

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup agave nectar, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Avoid overfilling to promote even rising.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them as ovens vary.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the delightful caramelized edges!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
