Bake these simple muffins using applesauce for moisture and oatmeal for texture. This recipe yields soft, wholesome breakfast muffins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, applesauce, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of raisins or chopped nuts to the batter.
  • If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the brown sugar to 1/3 cup.
  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for extra fiber.
