Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners and set aside.
  • In a bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 1/2 tsps baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, pinch of cloves, pinch of allspice, 2 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl, add brown sugar, white sugar, and oil. Whisk together.
    2/3 cups dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup oil
  • Then add in applesauce, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth (1-2 minutes).
    1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla
  • Add the dry and wet ingredients together. With a spatula, gently mix just until a soft muffin batter forms. Do not over-mix!
  • Mix in the mini chocolate chips a few times just until evenly distributed - do not over-mix! Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
    1/2 cup mini chocolate chips*
  • Scoop the muffin batter into the liners evenly, filling them up to the top. Sprinkle chocolate chips and white sugar on top (optional, but recommended).
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 425℉, then lower the temperature to 350℉/176℃ and continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool, and enjoy!

Notes

Mini chocolate chips* - I prefer using mini chocolate chips as I find they create the perfect pockets of chocolate. If you don't have mini, you can also use semi-sweet.
Eggs* - For an eggless version, replace the eggs with 1/2 cup (120g) of applesauce.
