Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins and The Tasty Tuesday Link Party

Have you ever been grocery shopping and knew you were forgetting something but just couldn’t remember what? You had everything on your list but you just had this little voice in the back of your head saying “Hey don’t forget the…” and you can never remember what the the was. Yeah, that happened to me a few weeks ago. We had just gotten back from California at midnight the night before and we were pretty much out of food. That morning, after starting laundry and having the hubby run to Carl’s Jr. for some breakfast sandwiches I whipped up a meal plan and grocery list and headed to the store.

My boys were obviously still a little restless from our 11 hour car ride the day before because they were going crazy. I mean, touching everything, breaking everything crazy! Note to self: never take children ANYWHERE after an 11 hour car ride. As we quickly ran through the store getting everything on the list and trying to get out with as little damage as possible I had a stinging suspicion that I was forgetting something.

It wasn’t until the next morning, Sunday, that I finally realized what I had forgotten. Breakfast. Anything for breakfast. We had milk but that was about it. No cereal, no eggs, no pancake mix, nothin’. I couldn’t really skip breakfast and I didn’t really feel like cooking hot dogs for breakfast so I turned to Google to see what I could use in place of eggs. The first option that came up was applesauce. That I had, and plenty of it. Then I found this recipe for Oatmeal Muffins and decided to give it a shot. It was a huge hit! So much so that my boys asked for them again for breakfast every day that week. The applesauce makes these mini muffins super moist and the oats are a good source for fiber and make you feel full after eating one or two (unless you are a 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 and eat like there’s no tomorrow).

These make a great breakfast and snack for even the pickiest of eaters. I made them for a play date we had and they were gone in no time. So if you don’t have eggs, or are serving someone who has allergies to eggs, have no fear, these applesauce oatmeal muffins are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
