Gluten free sugar free apple muffins

Muffins are always a good idea right? But I saw a recipe for gluten free sugar free apple muffins and wondered if it really was something I could love.

Gluten free sugar free baking is my new thing since I want my little one too appreciate baked goods too. So of course I had to try (queue dread). I saw this recipe while I was perusing one of my favorite markets, Trader Joe’s. I have been experimenting a lot with gluten free flour and wanted to ease into it with a gluten free flour mix. The Trader Joe’s gluten free flour is of course well priced and had this recipe on it. I knew that the addition of applesauce would give the muffins great sweetness and moisture. I’ve tried this recipe with Bob’s Red Mill’s mix too and have liked the results too. These are a great, moist muffin with a touch of sweetness (yay for applesauce) and warmth from the cinnamon. This is a fab dessert, snack or even breakfast. I’ll definitely be making it again soon!
