Instructions
 

For the streusel

  • In a small bowl, make the streusel. Combine flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cold cut up butter. Using your hands, mix it together until combined into a crumbly, streusel mixture. Set aside while you make the muffin batter.
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 3 tbsp butter

For the muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line the muffin liners with 12 liners and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix together and set aside.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, 1 3/4 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl, add white sugar, brown sugar, and oil. Mix together. Then add in eggs, applesauce, and vanilla. Continue whisking.
    3/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup oil, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla, 3/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet. Using a spatula, gently fold to create a soft muffin batter. Don't over-mix!
  • Evenly divide the batter between 12 liners, they should be almost or all the way full. Using a cookie scooper helps big time to minimize the mess. Sprinkle streusel on top.
  • Bake the muffins at 375°F for 15-20 minutes The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Every oven is different, so keep an eye out after the 15 minute mark.
  • These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week!
