Ingredients
First things first, gather all your ingredients. You'll need:
2 Cups of Flour
2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
2 Large Eggs
2/3 Cup Applesauce
2/3 Cup of Milk of choice
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350F and spray or line a muffin pan. This recipe doesn't contain any oil or butter, so make sure to properly prepare your pan to avoid the muffins sticking.
Once your oven is heating up and your pan is prepared, it's time to mix your ingredients. Start by adding all the wet ingredients (applesauce, milk, eggs, and vanilla), salt, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Mix these ingredients well to ensure a smooth batter.
Next, add the flour and brown sugar to the wet mixture. Mix these in until the batter is smooth. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter for that perfect chocolatey bite in every muffin.
Now that your batter is ready, it's time to fill your muffin pan. Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Remember, these muffins will rise a bit, so don't fill them to the brim.
Baking
Place the muffin pan in your preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. The muffins will still be moist when you take them out - that's what makes them so delicious! Let them sit out for 5 minutes to firm up.
Storing and Enjoying
Your Kid Approved Applesauce Chocolate Chip Muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. This makes them a perfect option for meal-prepping snacks or breakfasts for the week. They're great as is, or you can warm them up for a few seconds in the microwave for a warm treat.
So, there you have it - a simple and delicious recipe for Kid Approved Applesauce Chocolate Chip Muffins. They're moist, they're chocolatey, and they're absolutely irresistible. Enjoy!
