Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup agave
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 8 oz dried figs minced (in a food processor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray, set aside.
  2. To a large bowl, add the first nine ingredients (egg through sea salt), then whisk to combine. Add in the oats and baking powder, then stir until well combined. Mix in the minced dried figs then stir to combine.
  3. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, evenly distribute the batter into all 12 of the cavities (each one should be nearly full since muffins don't rise much).
  4. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until muffin tops are set. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before placing on a rack to cool completely. Don't rush the cooling process and attempt to remove muffins from pan too soon because the muffins are slightly fragile and may crumble.
