Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.3 cup Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or raisins (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 bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, milk, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Fold in any optional add-ins, such as chopped nuts or raisins, if desired.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
