Description
These are our favorite muffins for a reason. Hearty and filling but tender and light at the same time with a wonderful flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 1 cup oats old fashioned or quick
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- ½ cup buttermilk or regular milk
- ¼ cup oil canola or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 tablespoon oats for topping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Prepare muffin tins by spraying with a nonstick spray or lining with paper liners
- In a mixing bowl, combine oats flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt
- In a separate bowl mix buttermilk(or regular milk), egg, oil and vanilla together
- Add to flour mixture along with applesauce. Stir batter only until the flour is mixed in and no more.
- Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin. I like to use a large size ice cream scoop for this step. Makes them uniform size and it is less messy. This recipe makes 12 standard muffins.
- Top with a sprinkle of oats, if you want. I think it looks nice!
- Bake in preheated 375F for 18-20 minutes until muffins are cooked through
- Cool muffins in pan for 3-5 minutes. Then remove from muffin tin and cool on a baking rack
- Enjoy!
Notes
