School is starting in a few weeks, so the batch baking has been happening. One of the boys hates raisins but he will eat golden raisins (kids are odd critters….) and so they all loved these applesauce raisin muffins. Thankfully I got half the batch into the freezer!
Bonus: the muffins are dairy free and sweetened with maple syrup. They can be made plant-based by swapping the egg out for a flaxseed “egg”.
