• 0.25 cups Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Diced rhubarb
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced rhubarb and chopped walnuts or pecans if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
