Ingredients
- ½ cups Unsalted Butter, Softened
- ⅔ cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- ½ cups Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder, Sifted
- 1-½ cup Applesauce
- 1-¾ cup Unbleached All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare muffin pans (recipe makes 18 standard-sized muffins) by spraying them with non-stick baking spray or lining with paper liners.
In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar until light in color, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and cocoa powder; mix until smooth. Fold in applesauce. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix just until combined (don’t over mix).
Fill cups about 3/4 full with the batter. Bake 22-25 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a couple crumbs attached. Cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from the pan and placing them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
