Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins
Description
Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins mix quick oats with all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon to form their base. The wet ingredients include applesauce, milk, oil, vanilla, and an egg, which together moisten the batter and add richness. A streusel topping made from oats, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon is crumbled on top before baking to add a crisp contrast. Baked at 400°F for about 15-18 minutes, the result is a soft yet textured muffin with mild sweetness and a tender crumb. The topping gives a pleasant, sugary crunch on each bite.
These muffins work well for breakfast or as a portable snack, especially if stored in the freezer and reheated gently when needed. Their hearty oats and fruity applesauce make them satisfying without requiring elaborate ingredients.
Freezing these muffins is recommended to extend their freshness. Thaw and warm them briefly in a microwave for quick enjoyment. This recipe demonstrates a balanced way to create a wholesome muffin with a pleasant streusel finish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup oats (I used quick oats)
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil I used canola, generic cooking oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- STREUSEL TOPPING:
- 2 tablespoons butter NOT softened, or margarine
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray muffin liners with non-stick cooking spray.
- Make streusel topping first: mix oats, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Once combined, cut in butter. I use 2 butter knives and literally "cut" the butter into the mixture. When you are done your streusel should resemble small crumbles.
- For the muffins, mix together dry ingredients: oats through salt.
- Slowly mix in applesauce, milk, oil, vanilla and egg. Stir until well combined.
- Use a large baking scoop to fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.
- Spring a generous amount of streusel on the top of each muffin.
- Bake at 400F for 15 to 18 minutes or until cooked through.
Notes
- Freeze any leftover muffins to keep them fresh longer and reheat in the microwave for convenience.
