Cocoa Applesauce Muffins

I had no baking powder. What to do? Found this recipe and with a few modifications had a moist and tasty muffin. Added the frosting and it was a cupcake!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups GF flour blend
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup nuts chopped, optional
Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Grease bottom only of muffin cups or use paper liners. The 2 1/2 inch diameter size will make 12 muffins.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cocoa and oil, stirring until smooth.
  • Add the applesauce and egg, blending well.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together.
  • Stir in the applesauce mixture and optional nuts, just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • Bake 20 minutes.
