Healthy Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins
Description
These Healthy Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins blend oat flour made by grinding quick oats with typical leavening agents like baking powder and sea salt. Ground cinnamon adds warmth, while eggs, unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, avocado oil, and vanilla bring moisture and flavor.
The batter is mixed to smooth consistency before being portioned into a lined or greased muffin tin. Baked at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, the muffins develop a soft crumb with lightly golden edges, balancing hearty oat texture with moistness from the applesauce and oil. The natural sweetness comes primarily from the maple syrup and applesauce.
These muffins make a practical choice for a nutritious breakfast or snack, appealing to those seeking baked goods without refined sugar or excessive fats. The oats provide fiber and a slightly rustic texture that differs from standard wheat flour muffins.
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick oats
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with 9 paper liners. If you don’t have muffin liners on hand, you can spray the holes with cooking spray.
- Transfer the oats to a blender and blend for 60 seconds, or until a flour forms.
- Add the baking powder, sea salt, and ground cinnamon to the blender and blend for another 10 seconds or so, until all of the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, pure maple syrup, avocado oil, and pure vanilla extract to a large bowl. Whisk until the wet ingredients are well-combined.
- Transfer the oat flour mixture to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling the muffin cups most of the way up. If you'd like, sprinkle the top of the muffins with oats or chopped nuts.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown around the edges and test clean.
- A great way of ensuring muffins are baked through is taking their internal temperature using a digital thermometer. If the temperature is 190 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, they are fully baked. Simply insert a thermometer into the center of a muffin and wait until the numbers stop moving to get an accurate read.
- Allow the applesauce oat muffins to cool completely to room temperature before peeling off a muffin liner to eat one. If the muffins are still warm when you peel off the papers, you will lose some muffin to the paper.
