Apple Oatmeal Muffins

• 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/4 cups oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup light coconut milk with the juice of half a lemon (or low fat buttermilk)
• 1/2 cup packed muscovado sugar (or brown sugar)
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or vegetable/canola oil)
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 small Gala apples, chopped into small pieces
• turbinado (raw) sugar and nutmeg, for sprinkling on top

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with muffin wrappers or spray with nonstick cooking spray. My non-stick muffin tin works so well I didn't need either.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.
4. In a medium bowl combine applesauce, buttermilk, sugar, oil, egg and vanilla extract.
5. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in your applesauce mixture. Stir until just moist.
6. Fold in the chopped apples. Fill muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full.
7. Sprinkle raw sugar and a light dusting of nutmeg on top of the muffins.
8. Bake for 16-18 minutes.
