Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large egg ((beaten, at room temperature))
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk ((at room temperature))
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup organic sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup apple ((chopped, fresh or dehydrated apple chips))
  • 1/2 cup bear naked vanilla almond granola ((optional, or use your favorite brand))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and either line your standard size muffin pan(s) with paper liners, or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the wet batter ingredients: egg, vanilla extract, coconut oil, low-fat buttermilk, applesauce, and sugar. Add the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon and combine thoroughly.
  • Add the whole wheat flour and stir to combine, then add in the old fashioned oats. Stir in the oats, then fold in the chopped apples (or dehydrated apple chips).
  • Portion batter into each of your prepared muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Sprinkle tops of muffins with granola, then bake on the middle oven rack at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool in the muffin pan for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
