Apple Oatmeal Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup no-sugar applesauce
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup pitted dates
• 1 cup oat milk (may use other non-dairy milk)
• Egg substitute (2 Tbsp flax seed ground and mixed with 6 Tbsp water)
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup raw sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Purée 1/4 to 1/2 cup (depending on sweetness desired) pitted dates with 1 cup applesauce.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the flax seed and water. Add applesauce, milk, sugar, raisins, and vinegar; mix well. Add the oats, stir until blended, set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add this to the apple/oat mixture and stir just until blended.
5. Spoon mixture into silicone muffin pan that has been lightly oiled. (If using a regular muffin pan, I find it best to use cupcake papers.)
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.
