Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of cinnamon. Set this dry mix aside for a moment.

Step 2

In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, egg white, applesauce, and milk. Whisk everything until smooth and well blended. Then, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—it’s okay if there are a few small lumps left.

Step 3

Spoon the batter evenly into your prepared muffin cups. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Sprinkle this tasty topping over each muffin.

Step 4

Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden and bounce back when you press them lightly. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!
