01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a muffin tin by either greasing the cups or lining them with paper liners. In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and just a pinch of cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside for now.

Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg white, applesauce, and milk until everything is smooth and well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined—you might still see a few small lumps, and that’s totally fine.

Step 3
Spoon the batter evenly into your prepared muffin cups. Next, mix the remaining oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle this crumbly topping over each muffin to add a little crunch and extra flavor.

Step 4
Pop the muffins into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden and spring back when you press the tops lightly. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes before digging in—this helps them set and makes them easier to handle. Enjoy!
