Streusel Topped Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins || Recipe




Good morning! I made these muffins over the weekend and have been enjoying them ever since, perfect for breakfast or a snack. They're super easy and customizable to your family's taste.  I added some chia seeds in for added nutrition.  You could also add peanut butter, chopped pecans, chocolate chips...whatever your little heart desires. I love recipes that are one bowl and into the oven, less dishes and I'm more inclined to bake if it's simple.  Here's the recipe...

Streusel Topped Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins

1 1/2 cups of oats (I used quick cooking rolled oats) 
1 1/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 cup of unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup of firmly packed brown sugar 
1/2 cup of milk
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 egg
Chia seeds (however much you'd like)

Topping (optional):
1/4 cup of oats 
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of melted butter

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. Combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.  Add in the applesauce, brown sugar, milk, oil and egg.  Stir to combine. 
  3. Fill muffin tins until almost full.
  4. Top muffins evenly with the streusel topping.
  5. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until slightly browned. 

This made 12 regular sized muffins and 6 mini muffins.  The muffins would freeze really well too. I liked that they have texture to them so it feels like a hearty breakfast and Olivia enjoyed them too. If you're not a texture loving person, I'd ground the oats first. Do you have a favorite muffin recipe? I'd love for you to share.  Enjoy!
