Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Frozen or fresh mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
• 0.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tablespoon Optional: Chia seeds or flaxseeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Gently fold in the mixed berries. If using frozen berries, there’s no need to thaw them first—just toss them in directly.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle chia seeds or flaxseeds on top of each muffin for added texture and nutrition.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
