Reducing sugar?

[FartnissEverbeans]

Hi everyone, I've been working on my baking skills recently in the form of an epic muffin project. I'm on my seventh batch (even through there's a recipe I am really really bad at baking) and they finally worked!

However, I'd like to reduce the sugar. They were really sweet and I'd prefer it if there was less anyway as I'm planning on giving them to 10mo DS.

Will it still taste ok if I halve the sugar quantity? I've heard about using applesauce but I'm worried about messing up the dry/wet ingredient ratios.

Recipe is attached. Thank you
