Vegan Meal Prep Breakfast Recipes For the Win!

These Apple Cinnamon Muffins with Applesauce are the perfect breakfast recipe for meal prepping.  We are huge fans of meal prepping, batch cooking, and making recipes ahead.  I love the convenience of cooking once and being able to enjoy healthy homemade breakfasts when I don’t have time to cook.  There’s a whole section of TheHerbeevore.com dedicated to my favorite tried & true meal prep recipes.  With just a little planning and prep, you can have a week’s worth of recipes ready in the time it would take to make one portion.  Just batch cook, divide into individual containers, and place in the fridge or freezer for later!  Easy peasy.

What’s In These Vegan Apple Sauce Muffins?

• All Purpose Flour: I only use King Arthur flour which has a really nice texture and crumb. It’s a really nice consistent flour, so it goes into all my breads, muffins, and cakes!
• Old Fashioned Oats: I used whole rolled oats for this (not quick oats!) whole oats keep their shape and prevent the muffins from getting mushy in the centers.
• Sugar: I used a plain white granulated sugar for this recipe, but you can use whatever sweetener you have on hand. If you prefer a natural sweetener (like coconut sugar) you can substitite instead of white sugar.
• Cinnamon: gives these muffins a warm spicy kick! I love a pinch of cinnamon in my muffins, and these are the perfect fall or winter breakfast.
• Baking Powder: I like to use a no sodium baking powder in all my recipes, that way I can control the amount of salt that goes into my food.
• Ground Ginger: this ground ginger is really nice and flavorful!  I add a pinch in these muffins, and use ginger powder in stir fries, fried rice, and sesame noodles.
• Salt: Just a pinch, for flavor.
• Apple Sauce: I used a delicious apple sauce for this recipe, but you can always add a cinnamon apple sauce for a little extra spice!
• Coconut Oil: Gives these muffins a really silky texture, and the hint of coconut flavor is really nice with the apples and cinnamon.
• Almond Milk: I use a shelf-stable almond milk, which is great to keep extra in the pantry!  This almond milk won’t spoil like most store-bought milks, so it’s safe to keep in the cupboards.
• Vanilla Extract: Use a pure vanilla extract, not artificial baking vanilla. It’s a small thing, but it makes a huge difference in the taste of these muffins… real vanilla all the way, in all your recipes!

How Do I Make This Vegan Apple Cinnamon Muffin Recipe?

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease a muffin pan, or full each cup with liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, and salt.  Mix to combine.
3. Add the wet ingredients into the dry: the apple sauce, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract.  Stir well. Batter should be thick but if you want to thin it out, add a splash of almond milk.
4. Place a 1/3 scoop of batter into each muffin cup until cups are evenly full.  Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and sugar, if desired.
5. Bake muffins for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top. Insert toothpick into the center of muffins to test for doneness (the toothpick will come out clean when muffins are cooked through).
