These oatmeal-pecan muffins are moist, delicious, healthy, and easy. What more could you ask for? These muffins are also a good light breakfast or on-the-go snack. My kids love them. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pecans, or more to taste
- ¾ cup applesauce
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup real maple syrup
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
Step 2
Spread pecans on a baking sheet and place in the oven as it preheats. Watch carefully and cook pecans until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove, and chop when cool enough to handle.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine applesauce, vegetable oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and egg in a large bowl; mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Mix together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add applesauce mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until just moistened. Fold in oats, cranberries, and chopped pecans. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Serve warm or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
