Ingredients

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cinnamon applesauce
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup avocado oil or melted butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
course sugar for topping the muffins (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a standard 12 cup muffin pan with liners or spray it with cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk together the applesauce, oats, brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice. Dump the dry ingredients in with the wet and fold together until combined and there are no clumps of flour.
Divide the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired.
Place the muffin pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 14-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them onto a wire cooling rack.

Notes

Store the leftover muffins in an airtight container lined with paper towels for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the fridge. Freeze the muffins for up to 3 months.
