Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins

Jana here with another muffin recipe!  I love to make a big batch (or two!) or muffins, and put most of them in the freezer. Then, we just pull them out throughout the week for breakfast. Add some scrambled eggs, and you have a healthy, filling breakfast!  I found inspiration for this muffin recipe on the Taste of Home site. We have posted many delicious muffins recipe on our blog before.  Here are a few:

Yield: 12 muffins

Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins

1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup milk

3 tablespoons canola oil

1 egg white


Topping: 1/4 cup quick cooking oats
               1 tablespoon brown sugar
               1 tablespoon butter, melted
               1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, oil, and egg white.  Stir into dry ingredients, just until moistened.  Fill greased muffin tins 3/4 of the way full.

2. Combine topping ingredients, sprinkle over batter. Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing from muffin tin.
