Notes

For sweeter muffins, use sweetened applesauce and/or sweetened coconut. For less-sweet muffins, use unsweetened applesauce and/or unsweetened coconut.

These muffins are best served the same day; however, they will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to a month for longer-period

I like to cut them in half and spread butter or clotted cream on them. Then sprinkle with a little brown sugar and warm in the microwave. Delicious!!!
