Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins

I took my favorite oatmeal flavor - maple and brown sugar - and turned it into a muffin!

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step: 2

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.

Step: 3

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.

Step: 4

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.

Step: 5

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.

The quality of the flour could make a real difference to your bread. Different makers do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which not always rise as well as white bread.

To make this in a dough , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the makers instructions.

A bread first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great limit , as you can work it night before , then clear it off the next day.
