Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (260g) whole wheat flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 2/3 cup (57g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/3 cups (320g) unsweetened applesauce, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (70g) coconut oil, melted (or vegetable oil or melted butter)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) milk (dairy or nondairy), at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (110g) raisins
  • optional: 3 tablespoons oats and/or 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare a 12-count muffin pan by spraying with nonstick spray or using cupcake liners. If using liners, spray them to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined. In a medium bowl, mix the applesauce, eggs, oil, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla until blended. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stir a few times, and then gently fold in the raisins until just combined.
  3. Fill the muffin liners to the top with batter. Optional: Sprinkle with oats and coarse sugar. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 15–16 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool further or enjoy warm.
  5. Store muffins covered at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
You can substitute the coconut oil with melted butter or vegetable oil if desired.
For mini muffins, adjust baking time to 11–13 minutes at 350°F.
