Ingredient Checklist

Instructions Checklist
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper or foil liners, or grease if not using liners.

  • Combine oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, applesauce, egg whites, milk, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix until blended. Fold in raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Divide batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 17 minutes.

  • Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

Cook's Notes:

You can use any flavor applesauce that you'd like. You can also use 2% milk instead of skim, and safflower oil instead of canola.

You can substitute 2/3 cup of dried cranberries, cherries, chopped apricots, or chopped dried plums for the fresh berries, if desired.

The batter will be lumpy and thick.

This is a low-sugar healthy muffin. The addition of the oats and seeds from the fruit give it a great hearty texture. It is moist without being gummy. The only change I made was to use frozen mixed berries. Although the batter was a little runny the berries did not fall to the bottom. As a personal preference, it was a little strong on the nutmeg, while my family prefers cinnamon. As a result, the next time I make these I will cut the nutmeg in half and add a little more cinnamon.

Very easy to make but on the bland side. They also needed a crunch factor, like chopped nuts. I made half the recipe and got exactly 6 muffins. They were baked in 18 minutes. Not a recipe I would make again. Read More

This is a wonderful muffin. We really love it. It’s not so sweet that you think you are having a dessert. The fruit is the sweetener and the muffins are so moist from the applesauce. Happy to have a healthier option! Read More
