How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins

  1. Soak 1 cup rolled oats in 1 cup water for at least one hour (or overnight for extra soft muffins).
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or liners.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the soaked oat mixture, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 2 large egg whites. Mix until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour (optional), ½ cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts or raisins (optional).
  8. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
