How to Make Cheddar Applesauce Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
