Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dried cherries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 5
Fold in the dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 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
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring 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 in the refrigerator for up to a week.
