Applesauce-Oat Muffins

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups instant oatmeal
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.75 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.13 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 cup applesauce
• 0.5 cups milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners. Whisk together 1 1/2 cups oatmeal, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon in a mixing bowl; set aside.

2. 2

   Whisk 1/2 cup brown sugar, egg white, applesauce, and milk together in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture until evenly moistened; it's ok if small, dry lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Stir the 1/4 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and the melted butter in a small bowl; sprinkle this mixture over the muffins.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
