Oatmeal-Apple Chocolate Chip Muffins

I've made these 3 times already, and I keep hoping I can find the recipe online...so I thought I better get on this one and blog it already!

Delicious!

We will always make these. I usually double batch this one and freeze some for individual use whenever we want a muffin. It's worth it.


Ingredients: adapted slightly from taste of home

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup (3 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat your oven at 350. Line a muffins pan with 12 liners, or spray generously.
2. Beat together the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the egg.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add half the apple sauce to the cream mixture (in step #2), mix lightly, then half the dry mixture, mix lightly, and alternate. Mix until just combined (apparently muffins should not be over-mixed).
5. Mix in the rolled oats and the chocolate chips.
6. Fill the muffin tins until 3/4 full. Bake for 25 minutes.

Bon Appétit!
