So Moist Plant-Based Apple Cinnamon Muffins

It literally took me 10 minutes to put the batch together.  They baked a little longer than the recipe called for, but no matter, they still turned out to be incredibly moist.  So if you’re looking for an easy, quick and delicious plant-based baked good, I highly recommend this one and don’t skimp out on the applesauce because that is the secret ingredient to making this muffin moist.
