Method

Heat the oven

220°C

Preheat the oven to 220°C. If necessary, grease all 12 cups of your muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray (non-stick pans don't need greasing).

Combine the dry ingredients

Whisk

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend well with a whisk.

Whisk

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and maple syrup. Beat in the eggs well, then add the yogurt, applesauce and vanilla and mix well. If the coconut oil solidifies, gently warm the mixture in 30-second microwave bursts.

Combine and fill

Don't overmix

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon just until combined — a few lumps are fine. The batter will be thick; don't worry. Divide evenly between the 12 muffin cups.

Sprinkle and bake

Bake

Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool

Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool.

Cook's noteDon't overmix the batter — stir just until combined for light, fluffy muffins; if baking with honey instead of maple syrup, bake at 160°C for 23–25 minutes to avoid over-browning.
