Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts or dried fruits (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If you're using chopped nuts or dried fruits, gently fold them into the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
