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 mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold the mixed berries into the batter, being careful not to crush them.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
