Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups peeled and finely chopped apple (about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg. Add the applesauce, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the finely chopped apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
