Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (or vegetable oil/melted butter)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup raisins (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons oats (optional for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, coconut oil, pure maple syrup, milk, and pure vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir a few times until they are just combined, then gently fold in the raisins.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling them to the top. Optionally, sprinkle the tops with extra oats and coarse sugar.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for an additional 15-16 minutes.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
