Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk (any type)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup Dried fruits, e.g., raisins, cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Pour in the milk and gently fold it into the batter. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts or dried fruits at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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