Oatmeal Blueberry Applesauce Muffins

These beauties are surprisingly moist and delicious. I say this with the utmost respect and admiration for butter and fat. These are the kind of muffins that make you feel good about yourself and your morning. Really. Yea… good stuff. They’re whole grain, oat filled and fruit studded. Dreamy!

Makes 12-15 muffins

1 1/4 cups any low-gluten flour
1 1/4 cups oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tbsp almond oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper cases or spray with nonstick cooking spray. I simple greased and floured a muffin pan, saving the paper.

In a large bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. 

In a medium bowl combine applesauce, buttermilk, sugar, oil and egg.

Make a well in dry ingredients and add applesauce mixture. Stir until just moist. 

Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.

Bake for 16-18 minutes.
