Mix together: 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup canola oil, 2 egg whites.
Combine & add to above mixture: 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened) 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cloves (I omitted this ingredient)
Pour in lined muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
I made homemade applesauce using 2 apples (peeled, cored, & cooked for 20 minutes in a little water). This gave the muffins a really fresh taste. I'm sure they're good with the bottled applesauce, too.
