Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. In large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
- 3. In medium bowl, whisk together apple sauce, water, vanilla, vinegar, and date paste (if using).
- 4. Pour well-blended wet mixture into large bowl with dry ingredients.
- 5. Peel and dice ½ cup apples, add to bowl, along with raisins, and mix well.
- 6. Spoon batter into a silicon muffin baking non-stick pan or paper muffin cups. I recommend the silicon pan because these seem to stick to paper cups after baking. Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
