Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the soaked oats and milk mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated stevia (or preferred sugar substitute).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix, as overmixing can result in dense muffins.
If using nuts and/or blueberries, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
