Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup brown sugar (packed)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with cooking spray.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

      In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.

        Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in chopped walnuts and raisins or cranberries if using.

          Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each muffin cup about two-thirds full.

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

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