Ingredients
 
 

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Add-ins

  • 1 ½ cups peeled cored, and finely chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • ¼ cup raisins optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped apples, nuts, and raisins (if using).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ⅔ full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can store these muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. However, keep in mind that they might dry out slightly.

Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Label the container with the date and store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
To thaw them, remove the muffins from the freezer and let th thaw at room temperature for a few hours. If you prefer warm muffins, you can reheat them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
