Applesauce Cinnamon Muffins – Gluten & Dairy Free

Good Afternoon,

It’s been forever since I’ve shared anything but I wanted start sharing some recipes here and there. In November, per the recommendation of my doctor, I went gluten/diary free to help resolve some health issues.  It’s been an adjustment but it has helped a lot and I’m getting the hang of it!

This week my daughter requested applesauce muffins so I tweaked a traditional recipe (you can find the original here) to be gluten-free. My kids LOVE them and they taste totally normal (texture is spot on, and no weird after taste!) I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
