EASY APPLESAUCE MUFFIN RECIPE

Mornings can be chaotic around here and we don’t even have to leave the house! I am amazed by moms who somehow get themselves ready for work and the kids off to school every day. It doesn’t seem possible.

Making a healthy breakfast is important to most moms, but it isn’t always realistic. I love make-ahead breakfasts to make the morning a little less crazy.

You can make a double, or triple in my case, batch of these muffins at the beginning of the week, so they are ready to grab on your way out the door.

HOW TO MAKE EASY APPLESAUCE MUFFINS

As a mom of 5, “easy” is the keyword for all of my recipes! I love to make healthy meals for my family, but I don’t have a ton of time to do it. Thankfully, I have a lot of “help” in the kitchen. 😉

1. Prepare a muffin pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Start by making your own oat flour by finely blending up gluten-free rolled oats.
3. Whisk together the oat flour, oatmeal, monk fruit, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, stir together the applesauce, coconut milk, vanilla, and coconut oil.
5. Combine the dry and wet ingredients.
6. Add raisins.
7. Scoop the muffin batter into the greased muffin pan or non-stick cupcake liners.
8. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the baking dish. Serve right away plain or with a little butter. These muffins can be enjoyed hot or cold. If freezing, once the muffins are completely cooled, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe container.
