Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, applesauce, milk, egg, vanilla extract, melted butter, and granulated sugar, mixing them together until well incorporated.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and your choice of raisins or chocolate chips.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently just until combined, ensuring the batter is not overmixed.
  5. Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid over-baking to prevent the muffins from becoming dry. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Store the muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Once cooled, place the muffins in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
