Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups all-natural unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the applesauce, vegetable oil, and brown sugar. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the rolled oats and chopped walnuts, mixing only until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one nearly to the top.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Continue baking for another 11 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
