Healthy Pumpkin Muffins (Toddler Friendly)

0 Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease or line a mini muffin tin (or regular muffin tin) with paper liners.
1 In a large bowl, stir in the pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk everything together until well combined.
2 In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3 Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the muffins dense.
4 Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. You can use a mini muffin tin for smaller, toddler-sized portions or a regular tin for larger muffins.
5 Bake for 15-18 minutes for mini muffins (or 20-22 minutes for regular-sized muffins), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
