Muffins:
- 1 c. butter, softened
- 2 c. granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 c. unsweetened applesauce
- 4 c. gluten free flour, Bob's Red Mill GF 1 to 1 Baking Flour
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ground clove
- 2 tsp. allspice
- 3 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 c. chopped walnuts
Struesel Topping:
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 c. gluten free flour
- 1/2 c. gluten free rolled oats, uncooked
Preheat oven to 400° and line muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together softened butter and sugar until blended.
Next, add in the eggs and vanilla and continue to blend until just combined.
Pour in applesauce and blend on medium/high speed again.
Next, sift in dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Blend on medium/high speed until mixture is incorporated.
Toss in the walnuts and mix by hand with a spatula.
Now, it's time to make the streusel topping
Melt the butter in a small microwavable bowl. Add in the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix until combined.
Add in the flour and rolled oats and stir everything by hand until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Fill each muffin liner a little more than half way filled with batter. Add crumbly streusel topping to the tops of muffin batter and bake for about 15-18 minutes. Ours baked for 18 minutes and turned out perfect.
Yours may need to bake a little less or more depending on your oven. You can tell when they're done when you stick a toothpick in the center of muffin and it comes out clean.
Makes about 35 muffins. Enjoy!
