Why I love this recipe:
Healthy – These applesauce muffins are less than 150 calories each and made with whole grains and low sugar, so you can feel good about feeding them to your family. Freezer Friendly – I love to make a big batch of these and put them in the freezer. We use them for school lunches, snacks at the pool or anytime. Delicious – They have the same delicious taste and perfect texture of bakery muffins, so no one can tell they’re “healthier”.
Ingredients Needed:
Storage and Freezing Instructions:
To Store: Keep at room temperature, in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Add Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and cranberries or raisins. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients then pour in the applesauce mixture. Stir just until combined. Bake: Spoon batter evenly into the muffin cups then bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Don’t over-bake or the muffins will be dry. Enjoy or Freeze: Remove to a cooling rack then cool oatmeal applesauce muffins completely before freezing. To Freeze: Allow to cool completely then place in a freezer safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
