Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Paper baking cups

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup corn flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute all purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add 3/4 cup corn flour, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large mixing bowl, then whisk well.
  • Add 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 3/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice, 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice to the mixing bowl, then whisk until incorporated.
