Ingredients
- 1 cup (128 g) hard white wheat flour
- ⅓ cup (70 g) raw cane sugar granulated
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon (4 g)) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (¼ teaspoon) sea salt
- ½ cup (120 g) unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup (52 g) oil avocado or light olive
- 1 large (1 large) egg
- ½ teaspoon (½ teaspoon) vanilla extract
- ½ cup (90 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the center.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together 1 cup hard white wheat flour, ⅓ cup raw cane sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
- Add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce ¼ cup oil 1 large egg and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, stir until well combined.
- Fold in ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries. Note: If you're using frozen blueberries, immediately after you take them out of the freezer rinse them under cold water until the water runs almost clear. Drain with a few good taps and then carefully fold them into your batter. This will keep your batter from turning gray.
- Grease a 6 cup standard size muffin tin or line with paper liners. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
- Bake at 400° F for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Transfer the muffins from the pan to a wire rack as soon as they come out of the oven to prevent them from going soggy.
