Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups (240 g) whole wheat flour (260 g)
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons (2 teaspoons) ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) freshly ground nutmeg optional
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) ground coriander optional
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) kosher salt
  • 2 (2) large eggs
  • ¾ cup (183 g) unsweetened applesauce, room temperature (205 g)
  • cup (214.67 g) pure maple syrup, at room temperature (219 g)
  • cup (72.67 g) vegetable oil (79 g)
  • 2 teaspoons (2 teaspoons) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (222 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (210 g)

Instructions
 

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees (204°C). Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray or fill with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground coriander, and salt together until combined. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla together until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stir a few times, and then add the blueberries. With a spatula, fold everything together gently just until combined. Make sure all the flour is moistened. The batter will be thick.
  • Scoop the batter into liners, filling them almost to the top. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 16-19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
  • Muffins will stay fresh covered at room temperature for 2 days, then transfer to the refrigerator for up to 1 week. I usually freeze them right away since they can be heated up easily in the microwave and stay freshest with this method.
