How to Make Applesauce Oat Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, milk, oil, and egg white.
4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. In a small bowl, combine the optional topping ingredients (chopped nuts, brown sugar, and rolled oats).
6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
7. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
8. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
