Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg. Add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the soaked oats, raisins, and chopped walnuts (if using).
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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.
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.
Enjoy the muffins immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
