Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ 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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, combine applesauce, vegetable oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and egg in a large bowl; mix until thoroughly combined.
  • 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.
  • 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.

LEMON PECAN OATMEAL MUFFINS

I enjoy the hint of lemon in these hearty, and healthy muffins. Try adding a handful of dried cranberries to the batter just before spooning into the muffin tins. They add a tart sweetness that works well with the lemon.
