  • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal + 6 tablespoons water)
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 cups apples, peeled and diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin liners.

  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
