Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk (any type)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 3

Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract to the soaked oats. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in any optional mix-ins, such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts, if desired.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
