Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. and line 12 muffin tins with parchment paper liners (not regular paper liners, as they will stick) or grease the tins thoroughly.
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the applesauce, almond butter, honey, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat in the eggs.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Toss the peeled apple chunks with the lemon juice to prevent browning, then drain excess juice.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just barely combined.
Gently stir in the apple chunks and ⅓ cup of the walnuts (or pecans).
Fill muffin cups ¾ full and top with remaining chopped nuts or a few oat flakes mixed with a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Bake at 350°F for 18 - 20 minutes.
Notes
You can easily make oat flour by grinding rolled oats in a blender.
