Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 cup + 2 T milk I used whole milk, can use dairy free or any other kind of milk)
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • cup oil
  • cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour I used King Arthur Measure for Measure
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Combine milk and flaxseed in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425. Line 12 muffin cups with parchment liners or spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.
  • Mix in brown sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla, molasses, and milk/flaxseed mixture until combined.
  • Add gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and stir with a wooden spoon just until combined.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into prepared muffin tin, the batter will go almost to the top but don't worry, they won't overflow.
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425, then, keeping the oven door shut, reduce the temperature to 350 and bake an additional 14-15 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Allow muffins to cool in the muffin pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 or 2 days, or in the fridge up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or for a few hours at room temperature. You can heat them up in the microwave for a softer texture.

Notes

  • You can find flaxseed meal (or ground flax) in the baking aisle.
  • Be sure to keep the oven door closed when you adjust the temperature, if you open it your muffins may fall.
  • I tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten free flour, but Bob's Red Mill 1:1 should also work.
