I thoroughly enjoyed making cinnamon raisin applesauce bread this week. I loved the flavor and the texture, and I couldn’t get enough of the delicious apple smell emanating from my oven. But when I accidentally made too much applesauce, I saw my mistake as an opportunity to branch out with my latest recipe. So, I thought I’d turn my quick bread into Cinnamon Raisin Applesauce Muffins.
These tasty treats take all the deliciousness of my bread and compact it into manageable portion sizes. Instead of worrying about whether you’ve made a slice too thick or too thin, you can just grab a muffin for breakfast and go. Better still, these muffins freeze and thaw beautifully, making them a great option for days you don’t feel like baking.
Cinnamon Raisin Applesauce Muffins taste incredible when made with my homemade slow cooker spiced cinnamon applesauce. But just because I love my applesauce recipe, doesn’t mean you have to use it as your base. Feel free to use whatever applesauce you have on hand, from sweetened to unsweetened, with cinnamon or without.
And as much as I enjoy raisins and pecans in my muffins, I understand that these extras might not be your favorite ingredients to find in your breakfast. Feel free to swap out the raisins for dried cranberries or the pecans for almonds. Or leave them out entirely. Toss in some white chocolate chips or sprinkle the tops with cinnamon sugar.

I love eating my cinnamon raisin applesauce muffins in the morning with a glass of milk or a cup of cocoa. My husband loves eating them as an after-work snack. But what do you think about these muffins?
