Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup unsweet almond milk (or any milk you prefer)
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and spray a 12-muffin tin with non-stick spray.

  2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to thoroughly combine.

  3. Distribute the muffin batter between the cups. Tap the tin on the counter a few times to get any air bubbles out of the batter. Top each muffin with 1 tsp brown sugar, if desired (this is what forms the brown sugar crunch on top!)

  4. Bake for 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, typically between 25 and 30 minutes. Serve hot with butter or desired topping!
