 Instructions

 Prep the Oats

For a smoother texture, blend oats in a blender until they look like flour. (Optional but recommended.)

 Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and applesauce together.

 Add Apples & Dry Ingredients

Stir in grated apples, ground oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Fold in raisins and optional nuts/seeds.

 Rest the Batter

Let mixture sit 5–10 minutes so oats absorb moisture and thicken.

 Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Line a mini muffin tin or lightly grease it.

Fill each cup about ¾ full.

Bake 15–20 minutes until firm and lightly golden.

 Cool & Enjoy

Let cool for 5 minutes before removing. They firm up as they cool.
