About the Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup quick oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup whole wheat flour
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease with oil (I don’t recommend using liners unless they are foil or parchment).
In a large bowl mix together the applesauce and honey/maple syrup.
Beat in the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add the oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix until combined.
Add the flour and gently mix until fully incorporated. Do not overmix!
Scoop the batter into the muffin pan dividing it evenly among the cups.
Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a pinch of oats and brown sugar.
Bake for 18 – 19 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or mostly clean.
Cool in pan 5 minutes then remove.
