Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together dry ingredients until well blended.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix honey, milk, unsweetened applesauce, and egg. Whisk wet ingredients until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make muffins tough.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps create a more uniform batter and ensures even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter: Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of rolled oats on top of the muffins before baking for a beautiful, rustic look.
- If you want to boost the nutrition, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter.
- Check your muffins a few minutes early. Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking at around 15 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- For meal prep, these muffins freeze beautifully. Store in an airtight container for up to a month and reheat for a quick breakfast.
