Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 tablespoon oats (optional, for topping)
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare your muffin tins by either spraying them with nonstick spray or lining them with paper liners.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats (old-fashioned or quick-cooking)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed. This step helps create a uniform batter later on.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix together:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk until well combined, forming a smooth liquid mixture.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add:
- 1 cup applesauce
Stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix—lumps are fine and will yield fluffy muffins.
Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tins
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
(Optional) Sprinkle a few oats on top of each muffin for texture and visual appeal.
Step 6: Bake and Cool
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then carefully remove them and place on a cooling rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
