- 0.25 teaspoon salt

- 0.5 cups pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups rolled oats (for streusel topping)

- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
To prepare the streusel topping, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted coconut oil in a small bowl. Stir until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these healthy pumpkin apple streusel muffins as a snack or breakfast treat!
