Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts or dried fruits (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
If you're using chopped nuts or dried fruits, gently fold them into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
