When I was younger I loved oat bran muffins. My mom would buy a huge box of mix that would last for several months. It was the perfect hearty breakfast. Paired with some yogurt and a bowl of fruit, YUM! Unfortunately they stopped marketing my favorite muffins in my region so I’ve been on the hunt for my very own recipe for awhile.

This is my first attempt and they get pretty close. A little toasted oat flavor with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. The applesauce makes the muffins super moist without the use of oil. Yay for a great substitution that doesn’t skimp on flavor or texture.
