These are super tasty muffins that are my go-to muffin when I need a quick grab-and-go breakfast. They do not have any flour or refined sugar in them. Don't let that scare you! They are moist, delicious and filling. Even my hubby loves them!
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (divided)
- 1 cup natural unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (you can use honey as well, but will have added calories)
- 3/4 cup skim milk (if you don't want to use dairy, you can sub unsweetened oat or almond milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- dash salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin pan with parchment baking cups (keeps muffins from sticking to the papers). I use a 12 hole pan and a six hole pan.
- Grind 1 1/2 cups of the oats in a food processor until it resembles flour. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, syrup, milk, and vanilla. Stir until well combined (I use a whisk).
- Add in the ground oat "flour", the remaining oats, the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir together until combined.
- Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the milk.
- Scoop batter into muffin cups (divide equally among the 18 cups).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
