To begin, you’ll preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners and set it aside for now.
In your mixing bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set this aside.
In a second bowl, you’ll whisk together melted butter, applesauce, molasses, and coconut sugar. Whisk in some eggs, one at a time . Then, you’ll add the liquid to the dry mixture and whisk together.
The batter is then scooped into the prepared muffin pan.
Bake the muffins for 19-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the gingerbread muffins to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
