Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins

1/2 c. regular rolled oats

3/4 c. very hot water 

 1/2 t. salt 

 3/4 t. baking soda 

1 t. baking powder 

1 egg

1 1/4 c. whole wheat flour 

1/4 c. water

1/3 c. brown sugar, packed

 3 T. oil

1 t. cinnamon 

1 large apple, cored and grated

1/2 c. raisins, optional

Combine rolled oats and hot water and set aside. Mix dry ingredients. Add liquids, oatmeal,

apple, and raisins and stir just until moistened. May need to add a bit more water or some milk

to get spoonable batter. (You can use 3/4 c. applesauce rather than the grated apple and 1/4 c.

water.) Bake in muffin tins or baking pan at 425 degrees. Check after 15 minutes and bake a bit

longer if necessary. Makes about 16 muffins.
