Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let them sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the soaked oats and milk mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
