The only good thing about summer coming to an end is that fall is near, which means all the best cozy fall treats are begging to be made! I decided to create a healthy version of these apple oat muffins to kick off the fall baking season! Enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2    cup    rolled oats
1 1/4    cup    wheat flour, white, or all-purpose
1/2    cup    brown sugar
1    teaspoon    baking powder
3/4    teaspoon    baking soda
3/4    teaspoon    ground cinnamon
1/2    teaspoon    salt
1    cup    applesauce ( unsweetened )
1/2    cup    skim milk or almond milk
3    tablespoons   Greek yogurt
1/2    teaspoon    vanilla extract
1    egg white

TOPPING

1    tablespoon    butter ( melted )
1/4    cup    quick oats
1    tablespoon    brown sugar
1/8    teaspoon    ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400. Line about 16 muffin tins with muffin liners and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients together. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix slowly until just combined. (You can always throw in some dark chocolate chips if you feel like it).
Fill muffins tins or liners 3/4 full with batter. Sprinkle the topping over each muffin before baking for about 15-18 minutes.

Enjoy the warm, healthier treat for fall!
