Applesauce Oat Muffins

Applesauce Cinnamon Oat Muffins Recipe

 We found this really good recipe in Taste of Home and have made them twice in 2 days. They are REALLY good! We discovered that you can add a little extra applesauce to make it moister. Our family made them with Andrew's Clover Kid group and it was super fun! They're almost as yummy as cupcakes, AND they're healthy.Photo by: Taste of HomePrep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling
