Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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!
