These wholesome mini muffins are made with no sugar and no flour. They are packed with fiber from oats and fresh apples, making them a perfect guilt-free snack or breakfast on the go.
Ingredients
• 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned)
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 medium apples, grated (remove excess juice)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 eggs (or flax eggs for vegan)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch
Instructions
1. Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini-muffin tin with a light coating of cooking spray or use paper liners to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and grated apples until well combined.
3. Mix in Dry Ingredients
Add the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the oats are fully incorporated into the wet mixture. Fold in the raisins (and optional nuts/seeds if using) at the end.
4. Fill and Bake
Spoon the batter into the mini-muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top. As seen in image_12.png, the muffins have a rustic, oat-textured appearance. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Enjoy
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. These muffins are best enjoyed warm or can be stored in the refrigerator for a quick snack throughout the week.
