Tips:

  • Use ripe applesauce: This will give your muffins a more intense apple flavor. If you don't have ripe applesauce, you can make your own by cooking peeled and cored apples in a saucepan with a little water until they are soft. Then, mash the apples with a fork or potato masher.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent the muffins from breaking.

Conclusion:

Cocoa applesauce muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover applesauce. With their moist texture, sweet apple flavor, and chocolatey goodness, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these cocoa applesauce muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
