Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let them sit for 5 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the soaked oats and milk mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
