Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Diced rhubarb
- 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, egg, and Greek yogurt until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced rhubarb and chopped walnuts or pecans if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
