Do you ever come across recipes that you had completely forgotten about? That’s what happened with this one. I found this recipe again last Saturday morning and it is just as delicious as I remembered. These Healthy Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins are simple, hearty and not overly sweet. Using old-fashioned oats in these muffins gives them a hearty texture. While the applesauce and brown sugar give them just the right amount of flavor and keeps them moist. These muffins freeze well and are perfect to pack in lunches. I’ve been enjoying them every day this week! What’s your favorite type of muffin? Full of applesauce and oatmeal!

Donut Muffins
We could all act surprised that I’m posting another muffin recipe, but let’s be honest, I’m muffin obsessed! I first made these muffins shortly after I got married and they have been a favorite ever since. I wish I could say that all of the recipes I’ve tried over the years have been this much of a success. These muffins are moist and not overly sweet even with the cinnamon/sugar topping. The cinnamon and nutmeg in these muffins gives them just the right amount of flavor and reminds me of a homemade donut and that’s where they get their name, Donut Muffins. Delicious even before the topping, but dipping these muffins in…

Refrigerator Bran Muffins
I think it’s safe to say that I have a slight muffin obsession. But honestly, can you have too many go to muffin recipes? I think not. Last year I went looking for a bran muffin recipe and once I discovered the inspiration for these I stopped looking. Not only are they delicious and healthier (applesauce replaces some of the butter), but the batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Yep, you read that right. Once you make the batter you can let it sit in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and when you are ready to bake them just give the batter a good stir before spooning into…

Healthy Banana Oatmeal Muffins
We bake and consume a lot of muffins at our house and these healthy and delicious ones are a favorite. I hope you have over-ripe bananas in your kitchen because you need to make these right now. Oatmeal replaces some of the flour in these muffins and gives them a great texture. The banana and sour cream keeps them moist and gives them extra flavor. While I’m sure they would still be delicious if you baked them without adding the mix-ins, I can’t say for sure because I always add the mix-ins! There are several reasons why you need these muffins in your life… Healthy, yes! Moist, yes! Customizable,…

Double Dark Chocolate Muffins
When I think of Valentine’s Day I think of chocolate. Let’s be honest here, I think about chocolate every day, not just on Valentine’s Day. Anyways, these muffins would make a great addition to your Valentine’s Day breakfast or brunch any weekend. I use dark cocoa powder in these muffins, but you could definitely use regular cocoa powder. I talk about my love of dark cocoa powder over in this post. Because of the dark chocolate color, it gives them, you’ll never know that there is whole wheat flour hiding out in there. That makes them healthy, right? These muffins are best when they are warm and the chocolate chips are melted. …
