GRANOLA APPLESAUCE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare muffin tins with paper muffin cups (makes about 18 muffins)
• Pour granola into a large mixing bowl. Break up any large pieces of granola-- I like to firmly pat on the granola with the bottom of a metal measuring cup. Add the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flax seed, baking powder and baking soda.
• In a separate smaller bowl mix the applesauce, milk, sugar, and eggs (please note original Whole Foods recipe calls for oil but it is omitted in this recipe)
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill each muffin cup evenly. Sprinkle oats on top.
• Bake for 20 -22 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack before serving.
