  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. 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. 3
    In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.
  4. 4
    In a medium bowl combine applesauce, buttermilk, sugar, oil, egg and vanilla extract.
  5. 5
    Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in your applesauce mixture. Stir until just moist.
  6. 6
    Fold in the chopped apples. Fill muffin cups 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle raw sugar and a light dusting of nutmeg on top of the muffins.
  8. 8
    Bake for 16-18 minutes.
