Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons safflower oil
  • 1/4 cup rice milk, or more as needed
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the first 5 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the applesauce, oil, and rice milk.
  • Stir until well combined, adding more rice milk as needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter.
  • Fold in the walnuts, then divide the batter among 12 lightly oiled or paper-lined muffin tins.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of one tests clean.
  • Cool on a rack, then store in an airtight container as soon as the muffins are at room temperature.
