- 1 cup rolled oats

- In a medium sized bowl mix the applesauce and oil together (I use a whisk for this)
- Add the remaining ingredients, I sprinkle the baking powder around as I'm too lazy to sift!
- Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined

Notes
Tips
- If you find these muffins too dense or chewy for your little one, try making them with quick-cook oats rather than traditional rolled oats.
- These muffins will freeze, they defrost well if packed in a lunch or snack box in the morning to eat later in the day.
- These muffins will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container, but as stated above do freeze well.
Ingredient substitutions
Rolled oats: I have not tested this recipe with an ingredient other than oats, although I do typically use quick oats as these result in a softer muffin texture. Mild olive oil: My preferred oil for baking is a mild olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil will be too strongly flavoured in this recipe. Any mild oil will be fine in this recipe.Nutrition
