Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted) or vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • Optional: 3 tablespoons oats and/or 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until uniform.
  3. Mix together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, melted coconut oil (or your chosen fat), maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Stir until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle with additional oats or coarse sugar.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a lighter muffin texture, avoid overmixing after adding the wet ingredients. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
