Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb
  • 1 cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, applesauce, oil, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped rhubarb and grated apple.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can use maple syrup or honey instead of coconut sugar for a different sweetener.
