Ingredients

For the muffins

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup cooked plain oatmeal
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup finely chopped apple (see notes)

For the streusel -

  • 2 tbs all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbs old fashioned oats
  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbs unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

To make the muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, oatmeal, and applesauce. 
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until just combined. Add the apple and stir until combined.
  • Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups.

To make the streusel

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles wet sand.
  • Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
