This is my favorite muffin recipe ever. My mom used to make these for me on Sunday nights, and I would eat them throughout the week for breakfast before seminary. For some reason these freeze well, and are super yummy partially frozen.

  • 1 ¾ cups sugar
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups flour, ½ tsp. baking powder,
  • ⅓ cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ⅓ cup oil (you can also use a half cup
  • ¾ tsp. baking soda
  • oil and delete the applesauce if you
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon want)
