How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Muffin Tops Or Muffins

  1. **Streusel Topping:**
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons rolled oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), and a pinch of cinnamon.
  3. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. **Muffin Tops/Muffins:**
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  6. In a medium bowl, soak 1 cup rolled oats in 1/2 cup milk for at least 30 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 large egg.
  8. Add the soaked oat mixture to the applesauce mixture and stir until well combined.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  10. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  11. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins or cranberries (optional).
  12. Fill muffin cups about halfway full (or 2/3 full for regular muffins).
  13. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over each muffin.
  14. Bake for 15-20 minutes for muffin tops, or 25-30 minutes for regular muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
