Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely chopped peeled apples
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the batter in each muffin cup.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or gently reheat in the microwave.
  • These muffins are great for meal planning and can be made ahead for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
