Cinnamon pumpkin muffins filled with the flavors of fall and made with applesauce instead of oil. Perfect for school lunches, quick breakfasts, or an afternoon snack. This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Mott’s.

Nothing smells better than fall baking. My house smelled like I was burning all sorts of amazingly scented candles while these were in the oven.

This apple cinnamon bread is a delicious light, pull apart bread with diced apples, a buttery cinnamon filling, chopped walnuts. Drizzled with a sugary glaze it’s a family tradition for us— make it one for your too.
Don’t you love when those overripe bananas go on sale at the grocery store? I grabbed a bag for $1.99 the other day, brimming with brown speckled bananas. Lots of them. And I had big plans for those nasty looking bananas and it is this banana bread recipe.
These mini pumpkin chocolate chip loaves are fun to snack on and quick to make. Mini chocolate chips, pumpkin, walnuts, nutmeg, and a burst of cinnamon combine to bring together the flavors of fall.
Great recipe! I can’t wait to try it, thanks for sharing!

These look great and perfect for lunchboxes 🙂
Why is it that I’m always looking at recipes, when I’m starving…LOL! These muffins look so good, and I know they are good b/c I see those ingredients, and they are my faves too. Love that it’s made with applesauce, which tastes just as good as oil, IMO. Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
I so didn’t know you could trade applesauce for oil! I’ll have to try it! Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday! Hope to see ya next week!

Just made these…substituted stevia for the sugar to reduce the Weight Watchers points. So good!!!! I’ve been craving all the pumpkin baked goods and these were perfect!
This is so good to know! I JUST had a reader ask if she could substitute the sugar for sweetener for another pumpkin recipe that I have, but I hadn’t ever tried and wasn’t sure what to tell her!
Yes! They were delicious!!
Great recipe. I didn’t know you substitute apple sauce for oil. Thanks!
I love cinnamon and pumpkin and these muffins sound delicious. Thank you for sharing at Wonderful Wednesday.
Pinned for later! Thanks for sharing!!
Can I use in mini loaf pans?
Hi Joyce! You can definitely use mini loaf pans. You’d just need to adjust the baking time to probably 25 minutes or so.
