Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or gluten-free all purpose flour
1 cup granulated Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener* (use discount code "Annie" for 20% off!)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup applesauce
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional pink frosting:

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line muffin tin with paper liners (and spray those with cooking spray).
Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. I find that using a fork first and then a spoon works very well.
Scoop batter into muffin tin and fill 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool, and then frost!

Notes

*Or other granulated sweetener of choice, equivalent to 1 cup sugar
