BLUEBERRY OATMEAL APPLESAUCE MUFFINS
These muffins are not only delicious, but very low in fat and heart-healthy. The oats and flaxseed meal add fiber and whole grains for a filling and delicious breakfast or snack, while the applesauce takes the place of egg, butter, or cream that you might find in other muffin recipes. You can make this recipe vegan by omitting the egg and using soymilk as a substitute for milk (I use Lactaid milk to make it dairy-free). To make it sugar-free, substituting Splenda for the small amount of sugar is just as good! A pecan half on top of the muffin adds a visually-appetizing touch while adding a slight crunch to a moist and filling muffin!

OATMEAL APPLESAUCE COOKIES
In 2005 I had back surgery. My Mom came for a week to watch the kids/take care of the house. She made these for the boys and they devoured them she said. I don't know how many these make. I know at least 3 dozen - so that is the amount I will put. Okay - I have tried at least 2 different times to edit this recipe on the directions. More than one person has wanted to make it so I will finish the directions here! :) Basically - mix all ingredients very well in large bowl. Drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 11 minutes. If you like them crunchy - let them bake a bit longer. Enjoy!

Oatmeal is a perfect breakfast food. It is nutritious, filling, and easy to prepare. However, it can be challenging to keep things interesting when you eat oatmeal every day. That is where applesauce oatmeal comes in. The slight sweetness and tanginess from applesauce can add a delicious twist to your oatmeal. Here are some valuable tips to make the best applesauce oatmeal recipes:
Tip #1: Choose Rolled Oats
There are several types of oats, such as quick oats, steel-cut oats, and rolled oats. Quick oats cook quickly but can be mushy when prepared with applesauce. On the other hand, steel-cut oats take longer to cook and may not absorb the flavors of applesauce as well. Rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, are the best choice as they will retain their texture while absorbing the flavors of the applesauce.
Tip #2: Use Unsweetened Applesauce
When it comes to applesauce, choose unsweetened applesauce. Sweetened applesauce contains added sugars that can overwhelm the flavor of the oatmeal. Also, make sure the applesauce is smooth and not chunky. The chunky applesauce does not blend well with oats, giving an uneven consistency.
Tip #3: Add a Liquid
Adding liquid enhances the cooking process and makes the oatmeal creamier. Water, milk, or a dairy-free alternative such as almond milk can be used when making applesauce oatmeal recipes. However, keep in mind that the liquid you use will affect the texture and the flavor of the oatmeal. For example, using milk will add creaminess and richness to the oatmeal, while water will produce a lighter, more delicate texture.
Tip #4: Add Spices
Spices can inject extra flavor and warmth to your oatmeal. Consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to give your oatmeal a cozy, comforting feeling. However, ensure not to overdo the spices, as they can overpower the flavor of the applesauce.
Tip #5: Add Sweeteners Sparingly
Applesauce already contains natural sugars, making it unnecessary to add additional sweeteners. However, if you prefer a sweeter taste, choose natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup. Add them gradually and taste as you go to avoid making the oatmeal too sweet.
Tip #6: Customize Your Add-ins
Adding toppings to your applesauce oatmeal can add texture and flavor. Some popular add-ins include fresh fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. You can also add nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for crunch or a sprinkle of granola for added texture. Customize your add-ins based on your preference or go with the classic oatmeal toppings.
Tip #7: Cook Oatmeal Over Low Heat
When making oatmeal, it is best to cook the oatmeal over low heat. This ensures that the oatmeal doesn't burn or stick to the pan. Also, by cooking the oatmeal slowly, you will be able to control the texture of the oatmeal, resulting in a creamier consistency. The cooking time should be around 10-15 minutes for rolled oats.
Tip #8: Experiment with Different Variations
Applesauce oatmeal recipes are versatile and can be varied according to your preferences. Try different variations such as adding a tablespoon of peanut butter or cocoa powder to your oatmeal for a unique taste. You can also add different fruits, nuts, or seeds to your applesauce oatmeal recipe to create new flavors.
Conclusion
Applesauce oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that is easy to make. Experiment with different variations and customize your toppings to make your oatmeal more enjoyable. Remember to choose rolled oats, use unsweetened applesauce, add liquid and spices, and add sweeteners sparingly. These tips will help you make the best applesauce oatmeal recipe that is perfect for starting any day on the right foot.
