Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, combine the honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, milk, and egg. Mix until well blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Fold in your choice of mix-ins—this is where you can get creative!
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter for light muffins. Adjust sweetness to taste, and ensure muffins are fully baked by checking with a toothpick.
