Applesauce Muffins

I tried these last week and they are really really good. They are from Deceptively Delicious, with a few changes.

APPLESAUCE MUFFINS

Topping:
2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
2 TB butter

Batter:
1 1/2 cups flour (you can use white wheat flour)
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 TB ground flaxseed
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butternut squash or carrot puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat muffin tin with cooking spray.

Topping: stir together oats, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in butter.

Batter: combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, flaxseed, in a bowl. In a second bowl, mix the applesauce, milk, vegetable puree, sugar, oil, and egg. Add the flour mixture slowly, stirring just until moistened.

Divide the batter evenly in the muffin tins and sprinkle with the streusel topping. Bake until the topping is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes.
