    1 ½ Cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats, ¾ Cup Non-Dairy Milk
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
    1 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Into the bowl with the oats, add applesauce, brown sugar, canola oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine, then add the dry ingredients and stir just until no dry streaks remain.
    ¾ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce, ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, ⅓ Cup Canola Oil, ¼ Cup Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Scoop the muffin batter into a lined muffin tin, filling each cup almost all the way full. Then, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake the muffins in a 400*F oven for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Don't skip the soaking time for the oatmeal. This allows the oats time to soften so they wont be hard or tough in the baked muffins.
Fill each cup of the muffin tin almost all the way to the top for big, domed muffins.
