Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/8 cup white sugar
1/8 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
6 tablespoons Grade A maple syrup
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract; mix well.
Combine flour, walnuts, oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the butter mixture, stirring just until all ingredients are moistened.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for several minutes before removing.
