- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the diced apples and nuts, if using.
- Step 5: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Add the cold butter and mix until crumbly.
- Step 6: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.
- Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 8: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage. Wrap them individually for easy grab-and-go snacks.
