Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp salt

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large eggs

⅓ cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

¼ cup melted coconut oil (or canola oil)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced (any variety you prefer)

¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

          Add Apples and Nuts: Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts or pecans if using.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool & Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
