Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1 egg
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the applesauce, brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir the mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
