Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
• 1 lg. egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup salted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1. Preheat the oven to 375F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or parchment muffin liners.
