Cinnamon Sugar Applesauce Muffins

I've mentioned before that my kids love muffins.
I love making a batch of muffins during the week so that my kids have a quick, easy & relatively healthy snack after school.

Their favorite muffins are my Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins, but for those muffins you need very ripe bananas, so those aren't a muffin that I can make every week.  I wanted to share another one of our favorites....Cinnamon Sugar Applesauce Muffins!

 Here is what you need:

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks of butter)

2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups Applesauce
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2  teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Cinnamon Sugar mixture for the tops!

Directions:

Cream butter and sugar. 

 Add eggs and vanilla & mix well. 
Stir in the applesauce. 
Add the flour, baking soda and spices together & then mix into creamed mixture. 

I use a cookie scoop to scoop the batter into the muffin liners:

I love using a Cookie Scoop for muffins/cupcakes....equal proportions & no mess!

This recipe makes 2 dozen muffins

Bake at 350 for about 20-22 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean)

Cool for 3-4 minutes & then take the muffins out of the pan & dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Cinnamon Sugar makes everything better :)

These don't last long in our house!

I hope you love these muffins as much as we do!
