How to Make Spiced Applesauce Mini Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, ½ cup maple syrup, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full using a tablespoon or cookie scoop.
Sprinkle the tops of each muffin with 1 tablespoon light brown sugar.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
