Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins

These are excellent muffins for breakfast or for lunch on the go. They’re not too sweet, and they’re very moist. They might also make a great base for a cranberry oatmeal muffin if you add dried cranberries or something of that sort. If you want a bit more sweetness, you could try making extra topping.
