1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup agave syrup

Thanks for this! Have used this recipe as a basis for experimenting twice– jumped off from the recipe as follows: in both cases I added a shredded carrot and 1/4 cup ground almonds (used a spice grinder for this). I used whole wheat pastry flour, reduced/subbed 1/4 cup maple syrup for the 1/2 cup agave. first time round the muffins seemed a little wet but I was trying to eat them warm, harder to do with fat free baking. After waiting impatiently, they cooled down to a lovely moist cakey texture and on day 2 even better moisture balqnce. The next time I was nearly out of applesauce, so used a whole ripe pear that I ran through the blender after seed/stem removsl. I think I may have been 1/4 cup shy of the full 1 cup of “applesauce” but the result I have to say was awesome, a little less moist but great texture. The two of us ate the whole pan in a day… and will add this to our keper file!
