More muffins: Applesauce Spice

I brought these muffins to church and made a 2nd batch for the freezer. They're moist and sweet but not too sweet.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 C flour (I substituted 1/4 C almond meal. They will rise more with all flour.)
1-1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon (or 3/4 t cinnamon and 1/2 t nutmeg. I was out of nutmeg for this batch.)
1/4 t cloves
1 stick of butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 C brown sugar
1 C unsweetened applesauce

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In one bowl, combine dry ingredients and whisk or sift together. (I started doing this after complaints of finding bits of clumped baking powder/soda. Blech.) In another bowl, combine butter, sugar, applesauce, and then eggs. Add dry to wet ingredients and stir gently until moistened. (Or wet to dry. Does it make a difference?) Spoon into muffin tin with liners. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes 12 - 16 muffins depending on how full you fill the tins. Enjoy!
