Spiced Cinnamon Apple Muffins

**I am doing this blog post in partnership with Sanaia Applesauce. All opinions are my own**

Who says apple sauce is just for kids? The Sanaia Applesauce brand may be loved by kids, but it was definitely made with adults in mind! It is completely plant based, GMO free, and is packed with chunks of delicious organic granny smith apples. I enjoy snacking on all the exotic flavors like guava, hibiscus, and ginger, but I decided to make a warm fall “pick me up” using the unsweetened flavor and it was absolutely perfect. I made Spiced Cinnamon Apple Muffins and they were to die for! My entire house smelled like fall and I was in heaven! Head over to Walmart and grab some of this Sanaia applesauce and then meet me in the kitchen. Recipe below.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12 hole muffin tin.
2. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (minus sugar): flour, oats, spices, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat two eggs. Add sugar, apple sauce, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use your hands, not a stand mixer to avoid over mixing. Once well combined, stir into the dry ingredients, little by little, until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, do not over fill. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. While muffins are baking, makeyour glaze. Combined remaining applesauce, powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bold until well incorporated. Add more sugar if glaze is too runny.
6. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool, then add glaze on top and enjoy!
