Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 0.5 cups Plain greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Orange marmalade (no added sugar)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 orange Zest of an orange
- 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg; then add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, greek yogurt, orange marmalade, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy these muffins as a healthy treat with your morning coffee or tea!
