Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Grated apple (peeled and cored)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

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 with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gently fold in the grated apple and chopped nuts until evenly incorporated.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

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